As is true every year, Halloween trick-or-treating is an individual choice. For the safety of all, trick-or-treating should occur on October 31^st, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and we would ask everyone to consider the following precautions this year because of the COVID-19 virus that is still a concern for all.

HOMEOWNERS: If you chose to give out candy, please consider how you can do so while keeping yourself and the children who may come to your door safe – wear a mask and gloves; place candy into the child’s bag rather than having them reach into your bowl; find a fun way to deliver the candy in a socially “distant” way. If you chose not to participate, please keep your porch lights off that evening.

PARENTS: If you chose to allow your children to participate, consider a costume that can incorporate a face mask; trick-or-treat in small groups;  be a good role model and wear your mask; if a house looks overly crowded,  move on to another home with fewer trick-or-treaters. And if you or your child has a fever or any other COVID-19 symptoms, please remain home and find another way to celebrate the holiday with them.

Lastly, circumstances may change that will necessitate Halloween trick-or-treating not occur within the Village this year.  While we certainly hope that does not occur, we will be closely following the guidelines established by Gov. Cuomo and the NYS Department of Health.  We will share any updates with the community as they become available to us.

Village residents may or may not be aware of an invasive species that attacks ash trees. The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect that infects and ultimately kills ash trees. Unfortunately, we have quite a few ash trees along our village streets and in our parks. Over the next two years we will embark on a program to remove these trees. Unfortunately, this will result in a substantial loss of tree canopy along some streets and in both Community Park and Mercer Park. New trees will be planted as infected trees are removed. If you have any questions regarding dead or dying street trees at your home, please feel free to contact our Village Engineering office at 315-635-9665.

Yard waste collection will be twice each month (first and third weeks) through the summer and weekly in the fall. Dates of yard waste pickup are:

We may be forced to deviate from this schedule due to weather conditions or other unforeseen issues.

Please place your yard waste behind the curb (on the grass to allow traffic to move freely) prior to each Monday listed on the schedule above. The Village DPW will be attempting to collect all yard waste on Mondays. However, there may be some weeks we are unable to collect throughout the entire Village in one day. If your yard waste is not collected on Monday, please leave it at the curb as we will be coming around later in the week (usually Tuesdays or later depending on time of the year and weather) to finish our collection.

All Vilage of Baldwinsville buildings are closed to the public. This includes Canton Woods Senior Center. That being said – it is still business as usual. All departments are available by phone.

Please call the department needed to see if your business can be conducted over the phone or via email.
