COLLECTION OF HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE & RECYCLABLES
Some minor changes in how residential household garbage and recyclables are collected have been made. Beginning November 2020 glass is no longer considered a recyclable item, glass is now to be placed in with your regular household garbage. Paper & Cardboard will now be picked up 2 times a month. Please take note of the changes below.
Beichner Waste Services, Inc. picks household garbage 2 days each week beginning at 5:00 AM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is suggested that residents place their household garbage and recyclables out for collection the evening before your scheduled pick-up.
Tuesday morning pick-ups are made north of the railroad tracks from the Lakewood/Town of Ellicott line west through Sunset Ave.
Wednesday morning pick-ups are made from Park Lane and continue west to the Village line including everything south of the railroad tracks.
Recyclables are picked-up as follows:
- Paper & Cardboard: the 1st Tuesday/Wednesday of each month.
- Plastics: the 2nd Tuesday/Wednesday of each month.
- Paper & Cardboard: the 3rd Tuesday/Wednesday of each month.
- Metal: the 4th Tuesday/Wednesday of each month.
Please refer to our recycling calendar below or obtain a hard copy available in village clerk’s office
Keep in mind there is a limit of 6 bags only
