City of Geneva Property Owners and Residents

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 2024 SPRING YARD DEBRIS COLLECTION PROGRAM

The City of Geneva will begin spring yard debris pick up on Monday, April 15th and end on Friday, June 21st (weather permitting)

Property owners and residents may place leaves and yard debris between the sidewalk and curb for DPW removal.  Please place all leaves grass clippings, weeds and small brush debris in paper bags. Plastic bags will not be picked up.  If interested, the City of Geneva will provide a limited amount of paper lawn/leaf bags which can be picked up at the City Clerk’s office located on the first floor of City Hall, 47 Castle Street during normal operating hours.

Loose brush and branch debris must be no longer than 4 feet and not more than 6 inches in diameter. Consolidating small piles of debris into larger piles will help expedite pick up. DPW will start our final pass through the City on June 17, 2024. 

Please note we will not collect debris on private property, near parked cars, or in plastic bags. No stumps, rocks, stone, construction debris, lumber, plastic, garbage, glass, furniture, rugs, bedding, tires, etc. will be picked up.  Please consider recycling and coordinate with your trash hauler for these items. 

No person shall throw, cast, drop, put or place any trash or litter on the side of the road or at the fence. Violation of any provision of  City Code 218 Littering shall be punishable.  

Please be advised that property owners and residents are encouraged to please bring all yard debris to the City’s Resource Recovery Park at 41 Doran Avenue during the following hours:

Storm Task Force

The members of the Storm Task Force met on March 12 and reviewed their charge, which is to research and provide recommendations to council for ways to respond to and mitigate storms in the City. The members have divided into three teams focused on Infrastructure (Headed by Director Venuti - B. Cochran, E. Norris, J. Sibeto) Preparation and Emergency Planning (Headed by Acting Chief Eveland & Chief Parrotta, A. Noone, J. Salotti, S. Wagner) and Communications and Community Education (headed by CM Hendrix, J. Fox, J. Hoyle, C. Sneider). The teams will be meeting on a regular basis and then come back as a Task Force. The Staff will be working with the teams to identify resources for the group to create their recommendations.

A few ideas that the groups brainstormed so far include: 

•    Alarm system programming to check creek water levels

•    Creating a campaign focused on capturing water vs. run off

•    Reviewing ordinances and practices related to leaf collection, rain gardens, debris, and other methods to capture rain water

•    Researching the infrastructure and developing annual plans that are clearly communicated

•    Reviewing the creation of neighborhood alert programs and neighborhood response programs during weather events

•    The creation of new homeowner packets on obtaining abstracts, what to know during an event, who to call, etc. 
native plant sale 2024

The City of Geneva Green Committee, partnering with the Town of Geneva Sustainability Committee, and the Geneva High School Green Club, are sponsoring a Native Plant Sale on Saturday, May 18th from 9 am to 1 pm at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center. 

The native plant nurseries will be available for consultation about planning your native plant gardens and will offer native perennials, shrubs and trees for sale. There will be information about the Lake Friendly Living campaign and an opportunity to learn about helping with the city gardens at the lakefront.

Native plants are crucial for supporting our native pollinators and bird populations. Many native perennials have deep roots, some roots 5 to 15 feet deep. With their extensive root systems, they improve the ability of the soil to infiltrate water, reducing runoff and wet conditions. Their deep roots decrease erosion by anchoring soil. Native perennial plants also increase soil organic matter, storing carbon and rebuilding the soil.

On top of that, they are beautiful and an established native perennial garden needs little care; as natives, after all, they know how to live here.
