A project designed to lay down the framework necessary for future generations to keep Greenburgh clean.
Introducing the Keep Greenburgh Clean Program
First I would like to introduce myself, my name is Rob Hevern and I am a senior at Irvington High School. I am interning with Town Supervisor Paul Feiner and we decided that A Cleaner Greener Greenburgh would be an excellent project to start. The project is designed to lay down the framework necessary for future generations to keep Greenburgh clean. Many of you, I am sure, have seen the debris on the sides of the roads, as well as trash strewn about all throughout the town. This does not have to be. It is my sincere hope that with a little help we can maintain a command over garbage problem disfiguring our streets.
The DPW website can be found here...
The Website has a comprehensive list of the people in charge, and their phone numbers. It also has a link on the left side of the page where you can submit a complaint to be reviewed by their staff.

Also another valuable contact is Gabe Gouveia at 1-914-663-7609.
He is responsible for inspections.
The information number for the Greenburgh Building Department is 1-914-993-1561. Contact this number if you see an area in particular need of revamping. This is primarily for residential properties.

- Greenburgh bi annual newsletter focusing on community efforts to rectify problem
- Workshops for communities
- System of report drivers/passengers who throw things out their car window/report plate # to agency that would send out a letter encouraging their cooperation

- Get more businesses to sponsor cleanup on road that access their commercial sites like stew leonards, cosco and home depot and thruway(toll money).
- Increase toll money .25 to support clean roads/greenery in Greenburgh
- Analyze why this is mostly a southern westchester problem rather than northern. are they doing something we're not?"
"The NYS Thruway needs to make an effort to clean up the sides of the thruway that border south sprain road on the south bound side between the Jackson ave bridge and the toll booths."
"A red shopping cart about to be in traffic at the bus stop shelter on Central Ave. and Concord Ave., an accident waiting to happen..."
