Garbage Collection Schedule

January 2010

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS:

CHANGES IN SANITATION COLLECTION

PRACTICES AND ROUTES

(NEW EFFECTIVE DATE – JANUARY 25TH)

Effective January 25, 2010 the Town’s policy for the collection of garbage will be changed.

In all areas of town, all garbage cans and trash must now be placed at curbside, as is done now for recycling and bulk-trash pick-up.  This change is being made as a cost-saving measure, and to improve efficiency. 

As part of this re-organization, routes are being modified, and days of collection in some instances will be changed.  The hour at which your garbage is collected will also probably change due to the new alignment of routes. You will be better able to estimate it as we all become accustomed to the new routes. It is still required that you have your garbage and trash out either the night before collection or before 6 AM on the day of collection.

Beginning January 25th, all residences in the Blue Zone will have Monday and Thursday pick-ups.  All residences in the Black Zone will have Tuesday-Friday pick-ups.  Please see the attached list of streets located in each zone to identify your collection days.  All garbage collection will be curbside only.

Please contact the Sanitation Department at 914-670-3209 should you have any questions regarding your garbage collection. 

In advance, I thank you for your cooperation.

Anthony P. Robinson

Commissioner of Public Works
