I'd also add that, if you're able, please take a minute or 2 to clear snow from the storm drains and fire hydrants near your home.  Clearing the area around the drains will help prevent flooding/ponding, and clearing around the hydrants - well, if there'd be a fire, and seconds count, having clear access to the hydrants will be a HUGE help to firefighters.

 Andre -Since town offices are closed for the weekend, I will answer what I can - please understand I cannot speak authoritatively, however!  Old Christmas trees are picked up with the yard waste, which is Wednesday where we live - not sure if it varies within the Town of Riverdale Park or not - but whatever day they pick up yard waste, that would be the day.  What I don't know for sure is how long they will do that? I believe something I'd read indicated the month of January, so maybe this week is the last week?
(And of course you could always call Public Works with any such questions 301-864-1803)

Thanks for your email.  Is it still possible that we can get our Xmas trees picked up with trash?  I never found any info on that on which days or where to put them etc.  Is it already too late?  Thanks!

Snow Emergency Conditions – Snow emergency conditions shall be considered in effect within the Town of Riverdale Park whenever a snow emergency is declared in effect in Prince George's County by the Prince George's County Executive, the Maryland State Highway Administration or the Maryland State Police.  Laws that apply:   
   - During any period in which a snow emergency condition exists and a snow emergency is in effect, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle on any part of any street designated as a snow emergency street, provided that signs have been erected on that street giving notice that such street is a designated snow emergency street. 
   - During any period in which a snow emergency condition is in effect, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle on the odd-numbered side of any public street in the Town of Riverdale Park regardless of whether such street has been designated a snow emergency street. Streets with parking restricted on one side are exempt from this section. 
   - Any vehicle parked in violation of the snow emergency provisions of the section may be removed and impounded by or under the direction of any duly-authorized police officer. The owner of said vehicle, in addition to any towing or impound fee, shall be liable for a fine of $250. 
   -   
Snow and Ice RemovalAs we enter into the snow season, please note that Public Works crews will be plowing and salting Town streets and parking lots to clear snow and ice.  As in the past, we will treat our streets in the following method:  Primary Streets - i.e., Riverdale Road Taylor Road Lafayette Avenue, Queensbury Road, etc.  Secondary Streets – i.e., DuPont Circle, Cleveland Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, Quesada Road, Beale, 49th and 48th Avenues., Silk Tree Drive, etc.  Residential Streets – i.e., Oliver St., Madison St., Rittenhouse St., 47th Ave., Somerset Rd., Sora Ln., etc.  Please note: our major roadways, (Rt. 201, Rt. 1, Rt. 410, Good Luck Road), will be treated by the State and County.  Residents of our Town should note that they will be responsible for doing their part by keeping the walkway in front of their property cleaned of snow and ice after each event.  What Residents Can Do?     
   - Whenever possible, move parked cars off the street so that snowplows can remove the snow from the street from curb to curb. 
   - If off-street parking is not available, park on the even side of the street (violators will be subject to having their vehicles impounded and fined $250 – 64-10(b)(c)).
   - Be patient during any snow emergency as crews work around the clock to clear the streets.
   - Clear sidewalks in front of residence and refrain from depositing snow back on to the roadway (this can potentially cause an accident).
