Overnight Parking Ban & Sidewalk Snow Removal Reminders Overnight Street Parking: Overnight street parking is prohibited in the Village of Scarsdale from December 1 to March 31, between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. This seasonal restriction helps maintain clear streets for snow removal and ensures public safety during winter conditions. Sidewalk Snow Removal: In the event of snowfall, homeowners and business owners are responsible for removing snow from sidewalks bordering their property, as required by Village Code. Snow removal must occur within four hours after snowfall ends or ice begins to form, except between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. If the snow or ice does freeze to the point where it cannot be removed without harming the pavement, the homeowner or business owner must spread salt or similar material and remove the snow/ice in a timely fashion thereafter. The Village Department of Public Works will assist in clearing sidewalks during larger snow events with sidewalk plows when street plowing is necessary. However, during lighter periods of snow where salting operations are sufficient, staff will not clear sidewalks bordering private property. |

Village Began Weekly Recycling Collection in 2025 On January 1, the Village began implementing a significant enhancement to its recycling collection program with weekly collection of paper and commingled recycling, replacing the current every-other-week schedule. This change reflects Scarsdale’s commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency and meeting the needs of its residents. Our Department of Public Works has prepared updated sanitation calendars to reflect changes to recycling routes. These calendars were mailed to residents before the end of 2024. Nearly all residents will continue to have the same garbage collection schedule as they do now. |
