Mailbox and Garbage Can Placement
As a reminder, it is important to check your mailbox for structural strength and correct placement. Required placement of mailboxes within road and street right of way dimensions can be obtained at the Village of Weston Municipal Center. In accordance to the ordinance adopted in 2000, Section 70.114 (a) & (b), the Village of Weston and the Town of Weston will not replace or repair mailbox covers that are damaged due to the door being left open or actual mailboxes being damaged, in the process of snow removal.
Also on garbage pickup day, please place your trash container in your driveway in line with the back of your mailbox so the plow will be able to clear the snow without hitting it. Plow operators are mandated to not cross the centerline of the street so if they have to swerve around the containers and cross the centerline, this could cause potential traffic accidents. The garbage truck will not have a problem reaching your container from this location.
And most important of all, please try to stay at least 200 feet behind a snowplow and/or salt truck when the driver is operating it. He’ll make frequent stops and starts and may need to back up. We don’t want anyone to get hurt.
