2024 Leaf Pickup Schedule - Clifton Knoll

  • Department: Assessor

The Clifton Knolls 2024 Leaf Pick-Up Schedule will begin on Monday, October 21, 2024, and will continue through Friday, December 6, 2024, depending upon the weather. There will be no pick-up on Tuesday, November 5 (Election Day), Monday, November 11 (Veterans Day), Thursday, November 28 (Thanksgiving Day), and Friday, November 29. There will be no extensions expected beyond December 6, 2024. 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 21. 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

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 but 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.

Winter Season Reminders from the Highway Department

  • Department: Assessor

Winter Season Parking Restrictions

Please be advised, in the event of winter weather, vehicles should not be parked on town roads or streets. 

Chapter 194-5-E states: "No person shall park or leave unattended any vehicle on the pavement or shoulder of any Town highway, road or street during a period of snowfall, sleet, freezing rain or other winter-type weather and for a forty-eight-hour period after the precipitation ceases."

Vehicles that are in violation of this code may be ticketed.

We appreciate your assistance in helping to keep our town’s roads and streets clear!

Mailbox Winter Checklist

Snow has incredible force when it flows off the end of the plow. Often, the weight of the snow is enough to topple a mailbox. Check on your mailbox and make sure it’s ready for winter. Here’s some suggestions and rules set out by the United States Postal Service!

  • Ensure your mailbox post is solid, no rot or breakage.
  • Make sure your mailbox is positioned between 41” and 45” from the roads surface.
  • Mailboxes should be at least 6” back from the curb to avoid plow hits.
  • Make sure it has a reflector and is visible to our plow drivers.

In the event the Highway Department damages your Mailbox

If a plow truck damages your mailbox, please contact the Clifton Park Highway Department at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or (518) 371-7310. We have a team of employees that make repairs and replacements with mailboxes after storms. This is only for damage done by highway equipment. In the event we replace the entire mailbox, we provide a pressure treated 4x4 post and traditional black or white USPS approved mailbox.
