GREENFIELD — The Town of Greenfield has launched a month-long effort “Building Safety Month” to pitch in with spring cleaning. 

The town will hold a three-day resident cleanup May 13-15 from 7 a.m.- 3 p.m. at its Highway Department garage at 509 Bockes Rd. Residents with a town resident card may drop off household items, furniture, light scrap metal, empty and dry paint cans, as well as computer equipment and electronics for recycling. No tires, household garbage or hazardous wastes will be accepted. Resident cards can be obtained at Town Hall with a valid driver’s license and utility bill. Residents with tires to recycle are being directed to Saratoga County’s Spring Tire Recycling program on May 24.

Code enforcement staff has begun sharing the cleanup information with residents who appear to be in violation of the New York State property maintenance code, which requires that all property be in a sanitary and safe condition. Residents are encouraged to make use of the cleanup event to avoid citations. Violating this code can cost up to $1,000 a day. For more information, contact the Code Enforcement office at 518-893-7432, ext. 304. 

The last town cleanup collected approximately 49 tons of garbage, more than 17 tons of metal and 11 pallets of electronics to recycle. The expanded Greenfield Building Department, led by Michael Waldron, is focusing on more efficient building, zoning, and planning board applications and code enforcement in Greenfield.

In addition, the Town of Greenfield’s “Adopt a Highway Program,” with approximately 24 roads, are being cleaned up throughout the month by resident groups.

The Town of Greenfield is home to 8,200 residents in Greenfield, Porter Corners and Middle Grove. It spans more than 41,000 acres of land bordering the Adirondacks.
