Town of Riga Spring Brush and 
Limb Roadside Pick-up

Town Residents Outside Village of Churchville

           The Riga Highway Department will pick up limbs and brush during the second week of April. All limbs (up to 12” in diameter) must be placed with cut ends to the road, within the right of way, at the edge of the road.  Please Do Not Block the Limbs into Short lengths. If you have grape vines, vines with thorns or other brush for disposal please keep these separate from the limbs, as we will remove them with a clam bucket and truck.

          This year we will offer roadside pick-up of limbs and brush the second week of May, June, September and October By Appointment Only.  Due to scheduled road maintenance, this service will not be offered in July and August.  If you have any questions regarding our Roadside Pick-up or to schedule a pick-up please call the Riga Highway Department at 293-2530.

Consider this when you winterize your mailbox.

When the State, County and Town of Riga install any object, (mainly signs) in the Right-of-Way; they always use breakaway post systems.  We would not do this unless forced to do so by the legal system.  So when you are inspecting and repairing your mailbox system, do you really want to use any post that is any stronger than a 4x4?  Check with your insurance company, if they will cover any post stronger than a 4x4.

 If your mailbox system is damaged during snow removal operations the Town Board has authorized a 4x4 post and the standard size metal mailbox as the only replacements, regardless of what you have installed.   The highway crew will repair any mailbox system they damaged to serviceable condition, not necessarily a new system.
