Twin Bridges to Begin Curbside Pick-Up April 3rd

Twin Bridges will be conducting curbside yard waste pick-up for Clifton Park residents in 2023. The service will be offered beginning April 3rd through the end of November, weather permitting.

“The Town has offered this valuable service to Clifton Park residents for many years, said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett. This year the Town is partnering with Twin Bridges Waste and Recycling to ensure yard waste is removed, processed, and recycled timely and professionally”.

Leaves, grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings and other brush will be collected in brown paper yard waste bags only. The yard waste along with the bags are recycled through a processing system. No yard waste will be collected from garbage cans or any other containers. Small, bundled brush that is less than four feet long and three feet in diameter will also be collected. Bundles need to be tied to allow for easy pick-up and disposal.

Items that will not be collected include animal waste, garden debris, tree or shrub roots of any type, tree stumps or logs, waste products including household garbage, pressure treated wood, railroad ties, building debris, plastic, metal, or other foreign materials.

Twin Bridges will be working their way through the Town weekly. Residents are encouraged to have their yard waste ready for pickup by Sunday evening. At various times of the year when yard waste debris pick up is heavier than normal, sections of Town may take longer to collect. Please do not cover the bags with tarps. Bags must be visible on the curb.

The Town Transfer Station also accepts yard waste all year long during regular business hours from Clifton Park residents only. No permit is needed but an ID is required.   Extended hours at the Transfer Station for Spring Clean Up / Green Up activities will include Sundays April 30th and May 7th 10am-4pm for the collection of leaves and brush only.

TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE:
WAITE ROAD TO BE CLOSED INTERMITTENTLY
ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2023

Highway Department replacing Large Culvert Under Roadway

Clifton Park Highway Superintendent Dahn Bull has announced that Waite Road between Route 146 and Route 146A will be intermittently closed to traffic from 8:45 AM through 2:30 PM for the purposes of replacing a large cross-road culvert. The immediate location is just north of 613 Waite Road. 

During the closure, the Clifton Park Highway Department will have detours available for commuter traffic. We will be closing after rush hour in the morning and reopening before afternoon rush hour to best avoid any commuter traffic. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes via the Traffic Circle at Route 146 and Route 146A, or Blue Barns Road, to Ashdown Road and Route 146A.

The Town Highway Department asks that motorists practice increased caution while driving in the area. For several hours throughout the day, the road will be impassable.

The Town Highway Department is currently planning to pave portions of the Crescent Estates South Neighborhood, milling and paving will occur on Westchester Dr, Westchester Ct, Kimberly Ct, Carriage Rd, Equinox Ct, Hawthorne Ct and Lexington Ct. Construction may stretch later into the following week if the weather does not cooperate.

Work includes crews painting and milling driveways, catch basins and manholes. All work will be clearly marked. Please use caution as you are walking, riding, or driving through the area as some areas may be uneven.

During this time, please refrain from parking vehicles in the road and leaving garbage cans, leaf bags or brush in the road and right-of-way. Please mark out invisible fences and sprinkler heads in the right-of-way.

When paving commences, flaggers will be on site to assist residents with managing traffic and getting around the immediate construction area.

Once the asphalt and shoulder have had a chance to fully cure, Highway crews may be back to backfill areas needing topsoil, and those areas will be hydroseeded if necessary.

Again, all work will be clearly marked. Please use caution as you are walking, riding, or driving through these areas as some areas may be uneven.

If you have any questions, please call the Superintendent’s office at (518) 371-7310. Thank you for your patience while we improve our towns infrastructure.

The Clifton Knolls 2023 Leaf Pick-Up Schedule will begin on Monday, October 23, 2023 and will continue through Friday, December 1, 2023, depending upon the weather.

There will be no pick-up on:
Tuesday, November 7 (Election Day)
Friday, November 10 (Veterans Day)
Thursday, November 23 (Thanksgiving Day)
Friday, November 24

There will be no extensions expected beyond December 1, 2023. If conditions allow, however, and if sufficient leaves have been raked to the curb, the Town Highway Dept. may start picking up leaves a few days earlier than the scheduled start date of October 23.

Please be aware that the last week of the schedule is completely dependent upon the weather, since an early snowstorm or frozen conditions could shut down pickup operations for the season earlier than planned. Be advised that procrastination or waiting for the last week to start leaf gathering could result in missing out on leaf pickup if winter conditions arrive earlier than normally anticipated.

Please note that the Mill Creek development is not included in the leaf collection district.

In general, Clifton Knolls will be broken up into four sections, with each of the four machines working continuously through an entire section. However, depending upon the availability of equipment, this could change somewhat. The sections are as follows:

Section 1
Juniper Dr., Tamarack La., Laurel Oak La., Hickory Dr., Silver Maple Dr., Belmonte La., Broadleaf Dr., Broadleaf Ct., Eldorado Dr., Greenlea Dr., Colina La., Brookwood Dr., Zamora Ct.

Section 2
S. Barney Rd., Valencia La., Nina Ct., Rodriso Ct., Almeria Dr., Caceras Ct., Guadalupe Pass, Granada Dr., Valdepenas La., Cortez Ct.

Section 3
Barney Rd., Cordoba Ct., Par Del Rio, Palo Alto Ct., Balbina La., Midland Ct., Secada Dr., Leuconia Ct., Casablanca Ct., Santa Lucia Ct., Barcelona Dr., Sevilla Dr., Torrero Dr., Bilboa Rd., Majorca La.

Section 4
Beechwood Dr., Beechwood Ct., Hemlock Dr., Aspen La., Pinewood Dr., Birchwood Dr., Locust La., Rosewood Dr., Cedar La., Chestnut La, Payne Ct., El Lobo Ct., Madrid Ct., Castillion Ct.

Residents are reminded that piles of leaves on the pavement surfaces pose a safety hazard for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. Leaves in the road can also clog catch basins and cause street flooding. Please DO NOT move leaves into the street. Pile them only on the edge of your property. Also, leaves should not be moved into the center islands.

Branches and sticks must be removed or broken-up or reduced in size to 6-inches or less in length and less than 1/2-inch in diameter to prevent clogging of the leaf vacuum machines.

Suggestions about pick-ups or situations requiring attention should be reported to the Town Highway Superintendent at 518-371-7310. Calls made within 24 hours of a problem can be addressed quickly, so take an active role. Also, please check the Clifton Park Website at www.cliftonpark.org for additional information or changes.
