Universal Declaration of Human Rights

On December 9, 2025, the Board of Trustees affirmed their support for Human Rights Day, observed each year on December 10th to mark the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), this document establishes shared international standards for human rights and is widely regarded as the foundation of modern human rights law. 

Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, the Declaration outlines the universal rights and freedoms to which all people are entitled—regardless of nationality, race, or religion—including equality before the law, freedom of expression, and the right to life and liberty. It continues to guide global efforts to uphold human dignity and has shaped many international treaties and national constitutions.

2025 Leaf Collection: Rules & Reminders

Leaf Collection: Oct. 20 – Dec. 12
  • Leaf collection is the main priority during this season. Village DPW crew will continue to pick up yard debris (as time allows with no set schedule).
  • Please ensure your leaves are set out as early as possible. Crews will not collect individualized piles in any given area/street of the village that are set out after collection in that area has been completed. Individualized piles set out for collection after pick-up in that area will be collected during the next collection run of that area.
  • Brush and yard debris will only be collected during this time (as time allows) if it is separated from your leaf piles.
  • Grass clippings, weeds and small yard debris will only be collected if placed in a container or paper bag. Container weight limits still apply.
  • Loose brush size and weight specifications still apply during this time.
  • Please note for addresses with both leaf and brush piles set out for pick-up, that both separated respective piles will likely not be collected at the same time. Due to the different equipment needed for both tasks and leaf collection being the main priority, you may notice your brush being collected at a later time.
  • Leaves and yard debris must be separated, as yard debris can damage our leaf vacuum and could potentially cause injury to a crew member.
  • Debris piles that have not been separated will not be collected.

Monroe County Soil & Water: A Year of Impact and Stewardship

The Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District’s mission is to manage, protect and improve our County’s natural resources.
 
We partner with landowners, municipalities, agencies and local officials to identify issues and implement conservation projects that protect water quality.
For example, we provide technical assistance and services to help manage stormwater in municipalities, runoff from farms, and streambank erosion on public and private land, to protect the region’s lakes and streams.
 
The Soil and Water Conservation District also provides educational programs to residents of all ages to encourage good stewardship into the future.
 
Since 1953, your Soil and Water District continues to provide critical services for the residents of Monroe County!
 
Please visit the link below to view our projects and programs highlighting our success and achievements in 2024.
 
Just a few of our successes include:
  • Stabilizing 1,300 feet of streambank and establishing over 7,000 square feet of riparian buffer trees and shrubs along Black Creek and Irondequoit Creek
  • Training over 750 people in stormwater pollution prevention practices to protect and improve water quality through 13 stormwater trainings
  • Providing stormwater and technical assistance services, such as drainage, erosion and sediment control, streambank erosion, pond health issues, permit assistance, etc. on nearly 300 requests to residents and municipalities
  • Providing outreach and education to over 5,100 people regarding slowing & preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species through the Watercraft Steward Program, along with installing and monitoring 35 traps for spotted lanternfly presence
