Riverhead Town Offers Cleanup Help
Town Supervisor announced that in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene town residents will be able to cart their dead tree branches, brush  and other foliage to the Yard Waste site on Youngs avenue.  The Yard Waste site will be open with extended hours from 7 am to 7 pm daily with no permit required.
The Yard Waste site normally used has been filled and the town has opened a new area  on the landfill site just down the road a hundred yards.

Yard waste in plastic bags will NOT be accepted.

Not able to get to the site?  Tie up your bundles of branches (approximately 4 ft in length and not to exceed 50 lbs) and set them out for the 2nd weekly garbage pickup.

Some Residents Without Power
Some 6868 Riverhead residents were still without electric power as of Monday and word from LIPA was that they may not get their power back until the weekend.  Sen. Lavalle was extremely unhappy with the LIPA response.
