Ongoing McDonald's Garbage a Problem

An Elm Street caller recently reported to Sleepy Hollow police an ongoing problem of someone leaving McDonald’s garbage in front of his house.

The caller stated that on this day someone had left a bag and a chocolate McFlurry on his property. He wanted blotter documentation made of this at this time.

Meanwhile, there are multiple opportunities coming up to help clean the village's streets and parks, helping to remove weeds and other invasives (like trash). 

On Saturday, May 4 in Sleepy Hollow is the Douglas Park 'I Love My Park' Clean Up Day, part of the state-wide parks beautification initiative. 

"Volunteer on May 4th and be a part of this exciting, new statewide event to improve and enhance New York’s state parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire state park system. Come lend a hand ! Help us prepare the park and playground for the season. Bring snacks, picnic lunch - gardening gloves and insect repellent."

Also this Saturday: Sleepy Hollow's Community Garden opening celebration, with the Mayor grilling lunch for volunteers. Event goes from 10 a.m. to noon, with face painting, craft project, BBQ. Villagers will clean up Sykes park, Valley and Cortlandt Streets, meeting before and after at the garden at College and Valley streets.

This also coincides with the second (they just keep celebrating!) afternoon grand opening of the great new grocery store at Valley and College Streets, with music, free inflatable rides for kids, giveaways like hot dogs and more.

Organizers write: "We are also looking for volunteers to bring plants to donate and participate with the maintenance (watering the garden), planting and distribution of the garden’s growing goods. Anything planted in the garden is to be shared amongst all in the community. There will be other events in the future."
