No leaf-blower-specific regulation; general noise hours only
Enacted: 1982-09-14
Mount Pleasant Town's Chapter 139 (Noise), adopted by the Town Board 1982-09-14, lists "saws, sanders, drills, grinders, lawn/garden tools, mowers, tractors, chain saws, leaf blowers or gatherers, or similar devices" within an unnecessary-noise article. In residentially zoned districts those devices may not create unnecessary noise outdoors between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Sound-level table caps residential daytime (8 a.m.–6 p.m.) at 65 dB(A) / L10 60 dB(A). No leaf-blower-specific seasonal restriction; no gas/electric distinction; no separate "Lawn Maintenance Equipment" chapter. The Town code geographically excludes the Villages of Pleasantville and Sleepy Hollow (separate codes, separate tracker rows).

- Mount Pleasant Town Board Eyes Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Regulations
The Mount Pleasant Town Board heard a pitch from Conservation Advisory Council members to impose seasonal restrictions on gas-powered leaf blowers, allowing use only during spring clean-up and fall leaf season while permitting electric blowers year-round. The proposal is still being developed and must be submitted as a formal ordinance before the board will act. Mount Pleasant would join more than 20 other Westchester County municipalities that have adopted some form of leaf blower regulation.
