How to log a complaint about landscaper

My neighbors use Anthony Landscaping and it sounds like jet engines all through the neighborhood. It also takes them forever to do their work. 


Any way to log a complaint and get them to use quieter leaf blowers? They must have the cheapest, worst leaf blowers ever created.  I can't imagine the township would allow them if they were made aware. 


Thx in advance.



This is a big reason why the TC banned the gas powered leaf blowers during the summer months.

right now these leaf blowers are legal to use

I suggest you contact Deputy Mayor Nancy Adams and also stand and support the TC on this law suit

brought by the landscapers.   

 


there used to be an ordinance that capped noise levels from the blowers, but it was difficult to enforce.  Check with the township to see who to call and then call as soon as Anthony starts. Perhaps you'll be successful at helping bring down the noise level from Anthony's. 


Agree that Anthony's is among the worst of our local landscapers in terms of noise, no matter what time of the year.  Good luck.


there are several free decibel meter apps out there. 


  • Toxic exhaust fumes and emissions are created by gas-powered leaf blowers. Exhaust pollution per leaf blower per hour is the equivalent of the amount of smog from 17 cars driven one hour and is localized in the area of blower usage.
  • The high-velocity air jets used in blowing leaves whip up dust and pollutants. The particulate matter (PM) swept into the air by blowing leaves is composed of dust, fecal matter, pesticides, fungi, chemicals, fertilizers, spores, and street dirt which consists of lead and organic and elemental carbon. About five pounds of PM per leaf blower per hour are swept into the air and take hours to settle.
  • The quantity of pollution products that are injected into county air. The total amount of pollutants injected into the environment by blower usage in the county is significant. The ARB calculates that leaf blowers inject 2.11 tons of combustion pollutants per day into Orange County air. Leaf blowers in the County sweep twenty tons per day of small size particulate matter into the air. 
  • Blower engines generate high noise levels. Gasoline-powered leaf blower noise is a danger to the health of the blower operator and an annoyance to the non-consenting citizens in the area of usage. In light of the evidence, the Grand Jury determined the health hazards citizens are exposed to by the use of leaf blowers outweigh the questionable economic benefit blowers may bring to the cities and the County. The Grand Jury recommends that the cities, school districts, community college districts, and the County cease using gas powered blowers in their maintenance and cleanup operations.
