Autumn is a beautiful time of the year as leaves change colors, corn fields are turned into corn mazes, and people enjoy apple picking, football and Halloween activities. As the crisp air and cool nights approach, the leaves start to drop and fall cleanup will soon be upon us. As you are raking leaves, please note the Town of Henrietta will open their dumpster across from Martin Road Park for yard debris. They request that residents place leaves in containers (no bags will be accepted). Last year the town had the dumpster open the last 2 weeks in October & first 2 weeks in November. The town is hoping to confirm 2017 dates soon by posting complete details on their website and via the Penny Saver. Hope you can get out and enjoy all the fun fall activities and hikes before the snow comes our way. Don t forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 5 th at 2am for daylight savings. 1
