Maple Street Reconstruction Update

Erie County has asked us to share the project page for the ongoing reconstruction of Maple Street.

Work is underway, and residents can use the link below for information about the project, including the current construction schedule and updates as the work progresses.

The road will remain open during construction, but residents should expect lane restrictions and some delays.

Erie County’s project page will be updated regularly, so Maple Street residents and anyone who travels through the area may want to bookmark it:

Thank you for your patience as this important infrastructure project moves forward.

Update The County is in the process of awarding the project to Union Concrete Construction (UCC). Construction is scheduled to begin in August and be substantially complete by end of November (weather permitting). The road […]

Sometimes residents can be hard to deal with, but THESE residents were really opinionated!

DPW employee Gavin “Richard” Menz had the unenviable job today of removing three bald-faced hornet nests from Village trees.

They were not particularly happy about being evicted.

It’s one of the many unusual jobs our DPW crew takes on to keep East Aurora safe and well maintained.

Thanks to Richard for braving the hornets, and to our entire DPW team for everything they do for the Village!

Oakwood Avenue will be closed today between Center Street and South Willow due to tree trimming. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We just received 500 more kitchen counter compost containers! They can be picked up at the Village and Town Offices with proof of residency. Come get yours today!

Compost drop-off is Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the DPW yard waste site on Pine Street Extension.

Just a friendly reminder, tomorrow is our first compost drop off at the DPW! This program is for Village and Town residents. It is located right next to yard waste and our cardboard drop off dumpster. We will be open from 9am-2pm!

Have a great weekend!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! PUBLIC COMPOSTING COMES TO EAST AURORA!!!

Good news for the environment… good news for taxpayers… and another great example of the Village of East Aurora, the Town of Aurora, and Erie County, NY working together to make our community even better!

After the overwhelming success of our cardboard dumpster video, we’ve decided not to rush back into Hollywood just yet. We need to give DPW Foreman Jeff Stoll a little time to adjust to his newfound fame… and for people to stop randomly yelling “No! No! No!” at him on the street.

Now, on to our next project!

Introducing the Plate to Field Food Scrap Drop-Off Program

The Village of East Aurora, Town of Aurora, and Erie County are teaming up to make composting easier than ever.

We’re kicking off this pilot program with 150 FREE countertop compost buckets for residents!

Pick up your free bucket:
• Village of East Aurora residents: Village Office
• Town of Aurora residents: Town Clerk’s Office

(Available while supplies last. One bucket per household. Residents only.)

Beginning August 15
Every Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
East Aurora DPW Drop-Off Site
(The same location as our cardboard dumpster and yard waste drop-off.)

Bring your collected food scraps each Saturday, and we’ll take it from there. In another great example of intermunicipal cooperation, the Village will collect the material, and the Town will transport it to Erie County’s composting facility for composting.

Together, we’re reducing waste, keeping food scraps out of landfills, and creating something useful instead. It’s good for our environment, helps us become a more sustainable community, and demonstrates what can happen when local governments work together.

This is a pilot program, so we’d love to see our community get behind it. If it’s successful, it will help pave the way for even more sustainability initiatives in the future. Thanks to ACES- Aurorans for Climate and Environmental Sense and Raymond M Wrazen for their work on this!

Now let’s see if this program can become as popular as cardboard boxes… although Jeff may be hoping for just a little less celebrity this time…
