Sections for the Village and the Town recycling and trash handling follow. They are followed by a section on where to dispose of hazardous materials.
Village
The Village Department of Public Works (DPW) removes trash
from the receptacles in the Village Business district. The DPW does not pick up
residential trash.
The Village DPW provides “Spring
Cleanup” – Village residents may clean up their property and put yard
waste - brush, limbs and leaves - curbside to be picked up. In the Fall
the DPW provides “Leaf Pickup” – residents may rake their leaves to the
curb for pickup. The brush and leaves are processed into mulch. The
dates for these cleanup/pickup days are typically around:
- Mid-April for Spring Cleanup - (You can include discarded Christmas trees, as long as the tree's trunk is less then 6 inches in diameter and has been cut into lengths that are less then 6 feet)
- Mid-November for the Fall Leaf Pickup
For specific dates, please stay tuned to the Village home page and the Village Facebook page, and/or TV23.
Village residents may bring yard waste and leaves to the Steele Place drop-off area for disposal any week of the year, on Fridays from 7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Post-Christmas, if you want to deposit your tree there, you can do so (again, on Fridays).

A
garbage and recycling service (including cardboard) is available at Steele Place on Wednesday
7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Recycling (including cardboard) is
FREE and garbage is charged based on the size of the bag.
