Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update for March 18, 2020

Posted on: March 18, 2020 - 4:51pm

MAMARONECK, New York, March 18, 2020 — We offer the following two announcements for today, Wednesday, March 18:

1) An Important Announcement Regarding Garbage Collection:

For the safety and welfare of our sanitation crews during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) public health pandemic, beginning next Monday, March 23, RESIDENTIAL garbage collection in the Village of Mamaroneck will be CURBSIDE PICKUP ONLY and will continue until further notice.

For residents who are unable to carry their garbage to the curb (i.e. the elderly or the infirmed), we kindly request that you first seek assistance from a neighbor (safely and while maintaining "social distancing" protocols). These are challenging times for all of us — including our Village’s sanitation workers — and the entire Village of Mamaroneck will get through this public health pandemic most effectively by working together and looking out for each other – especially when it comes to this important public health/sanitation task. Our priority, as always, is the health and safety of our residents as well as our employees. 

HOWEVER, if asking a neighbor for assistance is impossible, a provision will be made for those residents who are unable to carry their garbage to the curb. To do so, please contact the Village of Mamaroneck’s Department of Public Works (914-777-7746) and provide your:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Telephone Number
  • The days your garbage is picked up (Monday/Thursday OR Tuesday/Friday)
  • Please note that you will be asked to submit a doctor’s note stating your need for this provision.

As this policy will not go into effect until next Monday, March 23, we encourage you to take the time now to contact your doctor and request this note. (If you have already done this, there is no need to do it again.)

Please note that this new policy will not go into effect until next Monday, March 23, normal garbage collection will continue tomorrow, Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20 . This policy only applies to RESIDENTIAL garbage collection. Non-residential garbage collection (i.e. commercial/business) should contact their private commercial garbage removal company.

2) From the Mamaroneck School District:

If you are a health care professional or first responder in our community, and require childcare weekdays between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm while the Mamaroneck Schools are closed due to the pandemic, please complete a short survey by 11 pm this evening by clicking HERE. Immediate attention is appreciated to ensure that we are ready to receive children beginning Monday, March 23rd. All childcare will take place at Hommocks Middle School. 

The Village of Mamaroneck has put together a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) webpage with information for residents that brings together resources from our partners in the community (Mamaroneck School District and Rye Neck School District) as well as from the County, State, and Federal levels of government.
