Town of Newburgh Highway Department

I want to thank the Deoartment for their help this morning. I left my home in Windy Ridge Road to go to work at St Luke’s Hospital at 6:15am. My car slid off the road into a neighbors yard I was stuck so bad. I called and they offered to call a tow with the police but after shoveling the snow with my hands and rocking back and forth I got out but still was not able to drive because of the icy conditions. I called them again and said please send someone with salt then comes Mr DeToro. I told him I couldn’t move my car. He said give it five minutes. He was my savior. I was literally stuck over an hour. I made it back home into my garage. Thank you all

My husband and I wanted to take the time out to give a 5 star review to the Town of Newburgh Highway Department. On Sunday morning after that heavy snow the driver that plowed Gala Drive was top notch! In my 23 years of living on the street, I have never had such a polite and courteous member care enough about the residents not plow them in after my husband was out plowing all morning. He took the time to make sure that he did not plow us back in! For my husband to pay this guy a compliment speaks volumes!! Many thanks goes out to this special man!!!

Antonio was driving the street cleaner when he passed by my son's home. He noticed a large hole near the drainage grate. He stopped, took a photo and contacted his coworkers. They came right over to determine what materials they needed. They filled the hole and the next day came back to blacktop over the hole and to reinforce the curb. Great team work! Thank you to Antonio and the other workers for excellent customer service!

Good that we can drop leaves and brush there for free but we maintain a large property with apartments in Balmville so we have a lot of leaves and brush. They give us a hard time almost every time we go there... "that's a lot of leaves, why so much?" or talking about our dump trailer "That looks like a commercial trailer to me." The guy says..and I'm like, it WAS but it's not NOW and all the lettering has been scraped off. Had some wood that was a little too big once and the smart ass was like "you can't read? Says on the sign no logs!" They weren't exactly "logs, but I guess they were over the 4 inch limit but talk about unprofessional. Next time this guy decides to be a prick I'm gonna go talk to the town supervisor. It's unnecessary.

I live on the corner house and every time they plow they dump everything in my driveway. My husband and I are both senior citizens and we cannot shovel like we used to. I have it on video where they come around and just dump it right there, in my driveway. This is been going on for years and I am tired of it. I do believe they need to use a smaller truck, in the circle and not the big plow. I've called. I even went in. Something really needs to be done about this. Years ago it was never like this. Also I noticed our road is always the last one to be swept, in the spring. For me to get the road swept, I have to actually call and complain. I see them doing the same roads over and over. And yes we have a lot of senior citizens and handicapped children that don't need the Dust, that flies up
