The Pascack Valley DPW has begun chipping for the season. Please remember anything over 4’ must be put to the curb and anything under 4’ must be barreled or bundled. They are aware there is an abundance of chipping needed from all the winter storms, so please be patient as they make their way to you. They thank you for your patience and they hope to be through town by the end of the week!
