Garbage and Recycling
Department of Public Works (DPW): 271-3775
Garbage Cans should be limited to three (3) 32 gallon containers and weigh no more than 70 lbs. each.
Please do not put garbage out until sundown, the day before collection and no later than 6:00 a.m. the day of collection.
Large items (Example: furniture, toys, mattresses etc) should be put out on regular trash days. No special pick-up is necessary.
Wood, Brush and Carpets are to be cut into four (4) ft. or less lengths. All materials are to be tied up in accessible bundles. Carpets must be rolled, cut and tied, and no wider than 2 ft.
Fall leaves are collected only if placed in paper bags or loose at the curb. Placing leaves in bio-degradable bags expedites pick-up. Leaves in plastic bags will not be taken.
Grass clippings do not belong in the garbage. Grass clippings should be left on the lawn or composted in the backyard.
Refrigerators, freezers, A.C. units and dehumidifiers contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). In order to dispose of these items, a CFC removal sticker must be purchased from the village office at a cost of$30.00 (The Village purchases the stickers from the Town of Cortlandt). Call the DPW to make an appointment to have the item(s) picked up. Each item requires one sticker. The collection of these and all metal items takes place every Wednesday except Holiday weeks.
No construction debris, firewood, tree trunks or tires will be taken.
No hazardous chemicals will be picked up. Call the Health Department at (914) 813-5000.
Latex and oil based paint may be put out with the regular garbage provided all remaining paint is completely dried out and the lid is removed. Place the dried out paint cans with lids removed next to your regular garbage can.
