Outages and Yard Debris Pick-up in White Plains

White Plains is reporting 135 Con Edison customers to be without power—down from about 2,500 outages of Con Edison’s 23,854 White Plains customers who lost power as a result of Saturday’s snowstorm. Restoration time has been pushed back an hour to Nov. 3 at 1 a.m., according to Con Edison's outage map.

“We remain in continuing contact with Con Edison, however, due to the widespread nature of the storm damage and the severe impact up-county, restoration efforts may continue to be delayed, particularly to single home outages,” said the City’s website.

The City is advising residents to call the mayor’s office at 914.422.1411 if they are in need of assistance. Con Edison is offering dry ice from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Midway Shopping Center, 955 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers/Scarsdale; IBM/Town Park, 205 Business Park Dr., Armonk; and BJ’s, 3303 Crompound Rd., Yorktown Heights.

The City will be picking up curbside branches, brush, and twigs from the storm through Nov. 11. Make sure everything is placed in a neat pile and not in the street, on the opposite side of the road, on street medians or near/on top of catch basins.

The City can’t pick up branches or debris more than 4 feet in length and three inches in diameter. This includes parts of a full tree, like stumps, limbs or logs. Do not mix branch and twig bundles with grass or leaves.

Low hanging branches and other hazards can be reported to the White Plains Department of Public Works at 914.422.1202 during business hours, and at 914.422.1233 during evenings and weekends.

The leaf, recycling and garbage pick-up is running on a normal schedule. The DPW will pickup curbside leaves using a vacuum or “The Claw” until Dec. 1 every 10 to 14 days.

Place your leaves in a biodegradable paper bag or designated compost container if you want it picked up everyday three to give working days, through mid-December. Click on the PDF for More information.
