Village of Chittenango
Waste Removal and Recycling Program
This document contains all the information Village residents will need on a weekly basis for the disposal of
recyclable materials and solid waste (trash and garbage), specifically: (1) descriptions of the various categories of
solid waste and recyclable materials; (2) any limitations on volume or weight in the various categories; (3) how to
prepare waste and recyclable items for curbside pickup; and (4) descriptions of the four pickup routes in the village,
the schedule for each route, and exceptions to the normal schedule.

Recent Changes in Materials and Procedures
Fluorescent Lamps (tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs) will be in increasing use in the coming years, a
result of the federal regulation that requires the phasing out of incandescent bulbs. Since fluorescent products
contain small amounts of mercury, it is critical that they be kept out of the county landfill so that there can be no
possibility of contamination of the ground water. For this reason they require some special preparation for disposal.
Since the village, county and state programs are all relatively new, formal regulations and procedures are still being
formulated. The County’s current document states in summary:
Residents will be able to dispose of mercury based products at the Buyea Road landfill on the first
Saturday of each month from 7:10am - 3:00pm. To prepare fluorescent tubes for disposal, place them
back in original sleeves or box, or in the sleeve of the replacement tube. Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
should be wrapped in one sheet of newspaper and then placed in the specially marked container at the
landfill.
The Disposal of Some “Unacceptable” Items
The following items are among those listed in this brochure as “Unacceptable” for curbside disposal:
Televisions, Computer Monitors, Propane Tanks, Mattresses and Box Springs, Recliners and Easy Chairs,
Sofas and Sofa Beds, other Large Furniture pieces, and Trash Cans in excess of the stated limitation of 4
per week per household. For all but the last of these (which is a Village limitation), the Department of Public
Works (DPW) is charged at the landfill on a per piece basis. Homeowners can take these items to the landfill or
transfer station themselves (where they will be charged this same fee), or they can arrange with an independent
hauler for disposal at the homeowner’s expense.
As a service to Village residents the DPW will, at the homeowner’s request, haul any of these items to the
landfill, charging back to the homeowner only the County’s fee for disposal. The costs of this service are (prices are
subject to change):
Television sets¹

General Overview of Waste Removal and Recycling
ELIGIBILITY:
Most residences and businesses are eligible for regularly scheduled waste collection by the Village Department of Public
Works (DPW). This is considered a normal Village service and is subject to certain procedures explained throughout this
brochure. In addition, however, there are some limitations, as explained below.
WASTE CATEGORIES:
There are six general waste categories determined by the Village for weekly curbside pick-up. Further information on content,
separation, schedules, routes and limitations will be found in this brochure.
•
•
•
•
•
•
COMMON RECYCLABLES – These are taken to the Madison County Recycling Center. The County will market these
recyclables; there is no charge to the Village.
SPECIAL RECYCLABLES – Most are taken to the Madison County Recycling Center. The County will market these
recyclables, but may charge the Village for some items.
BULK WASTE – This is taken to the Madison County Landfill. The Village pays a tonnage fee for disposal.
CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS – This is taken to the Madison County Landfill. The Village pays a tonnage fee for disposal.
RUBBISH/GARBAGE – This is taken to the Madison County Landfill. The Village pays a tonnage fee for disposal.
YARD WASTE – This is collected and taken to land owned by the Village. There it is deposited and provides some
benefit to wildlife.
NOTE: Recycled yard waste (wood chips and mulch) is available free at the Bolivar Road Transfer Station and Lincoln
Landfill.
CURBSIDE COLLECTION
General information on separation and removal of waste at curbside is given below. The details of the preparation of the
various waste categories for curbside collection are specified in the following sections.
•
•
SEPARATION OF WASTE – Items from one waste category must not be mixed with items from another category (for
example, newspapers must not be mixed in with rubbish/garbage, construction debris must not be mixed in with yard
waste, etc.). Further, some items within a waste category may not be mixed (for example, recyclable paper items must not
be mixed in with textiles).
Waste categories must be kept separated at curbside. Allow several feet between piles of different types of wastes at
curbside.
ITEMS REJECTED FOR PICKUP – The Village reserves the right to refuse all or any part of a pick-up in a waste
category if: (1) it is not properly prepared for collection; (2) the amount is so large that it appears the service is being
misused; or (3) the waste was generated from property other than where the pick-up is scheduled.
Containers in which waste categories are illegally mixed will not be picked up.
If it is necessary to leave waste of any category, a rejection notice will be attached by the DPW crew stating the reason
that the waste was rejected. Such waste must be removed from curbside immediately and will not be picked up again until
the next regularly scheduled collection for that category.
•
ROUTES – Each eligible Village residence and business is on a regular weekly route. Waste should be placed at the curb
no earlier than the evening prior to the regular pick-up day. Yard waste should be placed at curbside no earlier than 48
hours prior to the scheduled pick-up. Wastes should be at curbside no later than 7:00 a.m. on the day of pick-up. (People
who are moving and who need to place their waste at curbside earlier than usual should contact the Superintendent of
Public Works at [email protected])
Empty containers should be removed from curbside by the end of the scheduled pick-up day.
Uncollected waste with attached rejection notice should be removed immediately.
CONTAINERS:
Where required, waste materials must be in appropriate containers when placed at curbside. Where containers are required,
the following types must be used; any exceptions must be explicitly approved by the Superintendent of Public Works.
• REGULAR METAL/PLASTIC TRASH CANS – Use for rubbish/garbage, some types of construction debris and some yard
wastes.
• CLEAR PLASTIC BAGS – Use for rubbish/garbage, some types of construction debris, and for common recyclables that
will not fit in the Green/Blue recycling bins. These bags must be transparent and designed for trash. Do not use plastic
grocery bags or colored bags.
• GREEN AND BLUE RECYCLING BINS – These bins are to be used only for Common Recyclables, namely, glass, metal
and plastic containers. No other loose recyclables are to be put in these bins. The green and blue bins are to remain
with the property even if the current resident moves. If you move into a property in the Village and find no Green or Blue
recycling bin, please contact the Department of Public Works at [email protected].
• BROWN PAPER BAGS – Brown paper bags may be used as containers for newspapers, cardboard and other recyclable
paper products.
• RED SYRINGE SAFETY CONTAINERS – These may be obtained from any Madison County pharmacy at no cost and must
be used for the disposal of medical syringes. Once the tops of the containers are firmly attached and sealed, the
containers should be taken to any county transfer station for disposal..
LIMITATIONS
The amount of waste in some categories may be limited for each weekly pick-up. Such limitations apply to a parcel of property
as it appears on the tax roll.
The owners of businesses, apartment complexes, mobile home parks, and organizations that generate more than the
maximum amount of rubbish/garbage noted below are responsible for the removal of the excess. Normally, a private contract
with a commercial hauler best handles this additional waste; in such instances the owner is also responsible for the removal of
all other waste categories.
The following limitations have been established for Village DPW pick-ups. Owners are responsible for the disposal of any
excess, or they may wait until the next scheduled collection date. The excess must not be left at curbside.
• CONTAINERS – Regular Metal or Plastic Containers, in sound condition and fitted with covers, and Clear Plastic Bags, are
defined to be those whose contents is listed as 36 gallons or less. No more than four* (4) Regular Containers may be placed
at curbside; but in no case may any container weigh more than 50 pounds, nor may the total weight of all containers
(Regular and Plastic Bags) exceed 200 pounds. Regular Containers must be covered, and Plastic Bags must be tied.
* But see the front and back covers of this brochure for a means of extending this limitation.
• COMMON RECYCLABLES – There is no limit for residential pick-up. (Business owners: Contact Superintendent of Public
Works for any special limitations.)
• SPECIAL RECYCLABLES – There is no limit.
• VEHICLE TIRES – Vehicle tires are not accepted at curbside for disposal.
• BULK WASTE – The combined weight of all items is limited to 300 pounds per week.
• CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS – All construction debris, except for rolled carpet, must be placed in containers and satisfy all of
the size and weight limitations as stated earlier in this section in the paragraph labeled CONTAINERS. Rolled carpet may
not exceed 200 pounds.
• RUBBISH/GARBAGE – There is a limit of four 36-gallon containers (or the equivalent in smaller containers). See the
paragraph CONTAINERS above for other limitations.
• YARD WASTE – Grass clippings will be collected throughout the growing season, but only if placed in open metal or plastic
containers. No item of yard waste may exceed 5 feet in length nor weigh more than 50 pounds; in addition there is a two
(2) cubic yard limitation on yard waste per residence per week.
ROUTES AND SCHEDULES
See the Curbside Collection Calendar on the reverse side for routes, regular scheduled pick-ups, and exceptions to the
schedule.
EXCEPTIONS
There may be occasions when the Village will approve a pick-up on a one-time basis when the amount of waste in some
category slightly exceeds the stated limits.

▀ YARD WASTE
EXAMPLES OF YARD WASTE
• Small plants, weeds, grass clippings
• Tree branches, shrubs, brush, vines
• Grass clippings
• Sod
• Leaves
PREPARATION
• Place small plants, leaves, weeds and grass clippings in regular
metal or plastic containers; do not use plastic bags; containers must
be left open
• Pile brush, shrubs and tree branches as neatly as possible
• Autumn leaf season only: Leaves piled at curbside will
be picked up by a vacuum machine
• Spring clean-up season only: Leaves only (no branches, weeds,
etc.) may be left in open clear plastic bags
• AT CURBSIDE: Place open trash cans next to piles of brush. During spring and summer, leaves must be in open trash cans or
clear plastic bags. During the autumn leaf season, leaves must be left loose at curbside for vacuum pickup; do
not mix leaves in with brush or branches. Yard waste must be neatly piled and kept at least six (6) feet from other
waste categories. If you leave piles of brush and branches in front of your property for DPW pick-up, make certain
that these are back far enough from the curb or road that they do not interfere with traffic or parking.
• LIMITATIONS: No item of yard waste may exceed 5 feet in length nor weigh more than 50 pounds. In addition, there is a two (2)
cubic yard limitation on yard waste per residence per week. (Four cubic yards is approximately the amount of
brush that can be piled onto a full-sized pickup truck.
NOTES:
1. For exceptionally large amounts of yard waste, a DPW truck can be left on the property overnight and loaded by
the property owner. Contact the Superintendent of Public Works at [email protected] to schedule this
service.
2. At certain times of the year the DPW is unable to complete pickup of yard waste for the entire village in a single
day; yard waste left on the scheduled pickup day will normally be removed later in the same week.
Curbside Collection Calendar
■ GENERAL
The Village is divided into four routes for the purpose of collecting waste at curbside each week. The Village DPW will cover one
route per day, Tuesday through Friday, to pick up five waste categories: Common Recyclables, Special Recyclables, Bulk Waste,

■ WEEKLY ROUTE AND SCHEDULE FOR YARD WASTE
Complete Village (all streets) each Monday, mid-April to mid-November.
Watch for changes in pickup schedules in the Village Newsletter, the Village Web site chittenango.org, or the
digital signboard.
(continued from front cover)
To request that the DPW haul one or more of these items to the landfill, you must notify the Department of
Public Works in advance of the weekly pickup. Contact them at [email protected], giving your name
and address, and the "unacceptable" item(s) that you will be leaving at curbside for pickup. Payment must be made
prior to pick up date. Payment can be made in person or by mail to:
Chittenango DPW
Village Hall
222 Genesee Street
Chittenango, NY 13037
Under no circumstances should payment - cash or check - be left
at curbside with the item to be removed!
(NOTE: If you transport any of these items to the County landfill or transfer station, or have an independent hauler
do this on your behalf, you will be charged the County fee for each such item. Be aware that the County fee may
differ slightly from the fees listed above for Village removal, since the County uses a punch card system rather than
a straight dollar-per-item system. The current County procedures and fees can be found by visiting the County's
web site at http://www.madisoncounty.org/ and following the links to Departments> Solid Waste & Sanitation>
Web Page> Madison County Landfill and Transfer Station Regulations and Fee Schedule - - Residential
Permit Holders. Compare these with the Village's fees to determine your best disposal method.)
In addition to the items noted above, homeowners may recycle, at no cost, large quantities of Used Cooking Oil
(such as used in deep frying) at the Madison County Landfill Residential Drop-Off Center. The oil must be
strained to remove any solid material and placed in sealed clear plastic jugs. Cooking oil may not be left at
curbside.
Additional copies of this brochure can be obtained at the Village Hall. You may refer any questions to the
Village Clerk at 687-3936, or to the Superintendent of Public Works at [email protected].
