Loose Branch Pickup
For loose branch pickup only (which includes county & state roads); need to be at curbside prior to request (pick up is usually scheduled on rain dates).  Residents can also dispose of branches at highway yard during Mon.-Fri. hours.

Street Lights
Are maintained by the Traffic Maintenance Division or local utility company depending on the nature of the problem.

Tree Planting

New trees are planted (in the Town's Right-of-Way).  The next planting is scheduled for late spring in 2010.  Pictures of available trees can be viewed at that time.  The type of tree that is planted is determined by the trees that already exist on the street/area.

Requesting a Dead Tree Removal

  • The Highway Department can only remove a Town tree which is in the Town's Right-of-Way.
  • If the tree is in the Town's Right-of-Way, call the Town's Highway Department at 686-3450.

Requesting a Tree Removal Because of Sewer Problems?

  • The Highway Department can only remove a Town tree which is in the Town's Right-of-Way.
  • Copies of past or present sewer/plumber bills need to be sent to the Housing Department (275 Alexander Ave, Cheektowaga, NY 14211).
  • The Housing Department will then give the Highway Department approval to take down the tree.
  • The Highway Department will make three stops to your home during the tree removal process.  One for the trunk/branches: one for stump removal and one to topsoil/seed the area.
  • A new tree can be planted in the Town's Right-of-Way, per homeowner's request, generally anytime after a full year from the time the previous tree is removed. 

Leaf Pickup
Leaves will be picked up throughout the Town beginning November 2nd. The Town will be divided into four (4) Districts.  Each District will have their leaves picked up twice UNLESS the snow appears.  Once the snow season begins, leaves will not be picked up again until the Spring.

Please Follow The Guidelines Below:

  • Place leaves in an OPEN plastic container and place it at the roadside UNTIL the snow appears (picked up on your scheduled garbage day).
  • Or place leaves at curbside (picked up on your scheduled "District" week---see below schedule).  If it snows, leaves will not be picked up using this procedure until the Spring.
  • During the winter months (approximately November 1st through April 1st), place leaves in plastic bags (picked up on your scheduled garbage day).
  • Do not place brush or branches in with leaves.
