NY FORWARD LOCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE
A series of meetings are scheduled for the Local Planning Committee of the Village's NY Forward program. The Committee will meet each month to develop a strategy/plan that includes a vision for the downtown and a catalogue of transformative projects based on community input and surveys. That plan forms the foundation for immediate and ongoing project implementation. The next Local Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Hamburg Fire Hall, 301 Union Street.

SUMMER YARD WASTE COLLECTION
Beginning May 11, 2026, yard waste (clippings, weeds, flowers - no rocks) should now preferably be placed in open containers for the summer (never in bags, not in the street and not in your tote) and put at the curb for collection. While we strive to pick up yard waste on your regular garbage day, this schedule cannot always be adhered to depending on volume. Leave it at the curb - it will be picked up. REMINDER - The Village does not pick up grass/grass clippings. Larger branches/limbs are for brush pickup which always starts the last Monday of the month (does not have to be a full week). Questions? Contact Public Works at 716-649-4953.
RETREE HAMBURG
The effort to ReTree Hamburg is ongoing, as this volunteer group continues to work with the Village to reestablish the beautiful tree canopy/streetscape that Hamburg has always been known for. Residents and businesses can assist in this effort by purchasing a tree for planting in fall 2026. Click the 'ReTree Hamburg' link above for additional information or to place your order.
