Summer Maintenance Information

Objects in the Town's Right-of-Way

Placing objects such as bushes, trees, fences, decorative rocks, and flowers in the Town's Right-of-Way (ROW) may become a problem when it comes time for roadside mowing, ditching work, and plowing. This is especially the case around driveways, should the need arise to repair or replace a culvert.

Please contact the Public Works Department for information regarding the location of the Town's ROW on your street prior to doing any such landscaping work. Though we do our best not to cause damage to property, the Town of Freeport cannot be held responsible for anything erected or located within the Town's ROW while doing roadside maintenance.

Street Sweeping

The Public Works Department typically does street sweeping two days per week (weather permitting) on Mondays and Thursdays, to clean the streets before and after the weekends.

Building and Grounds Maintenance

The Building and Grounds Maintenance Department has a full-time staff of 3 who maintain the Town buildings, grounds, cemeteries, and parks. We also take care of the village trash removal, tree pruning, planting, and landscaping.
