Leaf blowers banned for use in Sleepy Hollow for duration of coronavirus pandemic

The Village of Sleepy Hollow is temporarily banning the use of leaf blowers to make sure residents are safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

Effective immediately, all leaf blower use is banned for the duration of the pandemic.

Village officials say since the virus is a respiratory condition, having things blown into the air could create a hazmat situation.
