RECYCLING
Refuse removal is contracted out by the village. The current company is Meadow Carting (338-0121). Pick up is Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Collections are not made on legal holidays. Recyclables are picked up on Thursday.
Household waste will be collected from no more than four containers left at the rear or side of the house. Rubbish, including grass clippings, cardboard boxes and similar debris should be left at the front of the property immediately behind the hedge line ( about five feet in from the sidewalk ). Newspapers are picked up every Thursday. Leave them at the hedge line. Recyclables are picked up on Thursdays as well. Large items, e.g. refrigerators, furniture, and tree limbs, will be removed at no cost on Thursdays, but Meadow Carting must be notified at least 24 hours in advance and the items must be at the hedge line. |
