Every piece of litter we pick up helps protect our local environment and creates a more welcoming atmosphere for everyone. 

Please call the Refuse & Recycling Department at (914) 245-4438 to register so our crews know where to collect the orange litter bags. Stop by the office for supplies; Monday - Friday, 8AM - 4PM. 

We thank you for your commitment to our community. Please share this announcement with friends, family, and neighbors to encourage others to join in!

We'd love to see our residents making a difference! If you participate, please take photos of your group during the cleanup and email them to us for possible inclusion on our website.

NYSDOT Anticipated Traffic Counter Camera Locations in Yorktown. 

The Yorktown Water District will begin flushing fire hydrants beginning Monday October 5, 2026, weekdays between the hours of 8 AM - 5 PM (barring any emergencies).

Fire hydrants are flushed to maintain water quality by removing sediment, rust, and mineral deposits from water pipes. This routine maintenance also ensures proper water pressure and verifies that the hydrant will function correctly in an emergency. It further reduces bacterial growth by restoring chlorine levels in the distribution system.

It is recommended that residents refrain from doing laundry while hydrant flushing is occurring in your neighborhood.  Once flushing is completed on your street, please run you cold water to clear out any possible discoloration.

The flushing area comprises streets located west of the Taconic State Parkway.

Streets scheduled to be flushed will be posted daily on the Town's Website www.yorktownny.gov

Thank you for your cooperation.
