Yard Waste Program Changes in 2013

The curbside yard waste collection program will begin on April 15.  Review the yard waste rules to ensure your materials are picked up.  Collection will now be completed on the same day as regular garbage collection during select weeks throughout the year.

Business of the Month Program

As part of our implementation of the Town of Buchanan Economic Development Strategy, we are seeking Town businesses to be included in our Featured Business of the Month program. Businesses will receive acknowledgement in our e-newsletter and on the Town website. The Town wants to help promote local Town businesses to our residents and shop local initiatives. To be considered as the Featured Business of the Month, e-mail us the name of your business and contact information to be included in the random drawing. E-mail clerk@townofbuchanan.org.

Dogs to be Licensed & Kept Under Control

Dogs running at large and untagged dogs are subject to impoundment and the owners may pay penalties. A dog is considered to be running at large if it is off the premises of it's owner and not under the control of the owner or some other person. A dog is considered to be untagged if a valid license tag is not attached to a collar which is kept on the dog whenever the dog is outdoors, unless the dog is securely confined in a fenced area. Please be respectful of your neighbors by not letting the dog continually bark, keeping the dog in your own yard, cleaning up after your dog including picking up their waste when out walking and keeping your dog away from people walking their dogs. All dogs must be licensed annually prior to April 1st. Licenses purchased after March 31st are assessed a $5.00 late fee per dog. The license application can be mailed in with a copy of the rabies certificate, fee and self -addressed stamped envelope or the license can be purchased at the Town Hall. Be sure to have an up-to-date rabies vaccination certificate with you when you come in for the license. See the Forms page for a license application.
