Millbrook Public Works announces leaf pickup schedule

MILLBROOK — With the expectation that leaves are soon likely to fall from the trees, the Village of Millbrook has announced its annual leaf pick-up service schedule.

The Public Works Department will collect leaves curbside throughout the Village between Tuesday, Oct. 1, and Saturday, Nov. 30. Residents must be careful that only leaves are at the curb, not grass, brush, soil, sod, or other foreign objects, as such materials will clog the equipment and nearby storm drains. Infractions are subject to required payment of removal fees.

Leaf piles should be kept away from catch basins, trees, fire hydrants, sidewalks, utility poles or anywhere they might interfere with traffic. And piles should be kept low and narrow.

For more information about leaf pick-up, go to www.villageofmillbrookny.com/public-works/#leaf or phone the Highway Department at 845-677-3022.

There is a scene in “The King of In Between,” a documentary about musician Garland Jeffreys, that shows his name as the answer to a question on the TV show “Jeopardy!”

“This moment was the film in a nutshell,” said Claire Jeffreys, the film’s producer and director, and Garland’s wife of 40 years. “Nobody knows the answer,” she continued. “So, you’re cool enough to be a Jeopardy question, but you’re still obscure enough that not one of the contestants even had a glimmer of the answer.”
