Village of North Syracuse, NY

WASTE PICK UP

     We changed the pick up schedule for Bulk Waste.  In the past we did it once a year in the fall.  This created a two week period that turned the Village into an eyesore. We will now do it twice a month, April through September and also in the winter months, weather permitting.  We also added a new category of waste to be picked up at your house.  Electronic Waste or E-Waste will also be picked up during the same schedule.  (SEE SCHEDULE BELOW)

1. WEEKLY WASTE AND RECYCLEABLES:

Syracuse Haulers handles all weekly trash & recyclable pick-up and removal for all residential and commercial properties within the Village.  Any concerns relating to trash pick-up/removal should be made directly to Syracuse Haulers by calling 426-6771.

Blue bins for recyclables can be obtained by calling the D.P.W. at 458-0790 or call the Village Clerk at 458-0900.  We will need your name, address, and the number of Blue Bins requested.  They are usually delivered on Fridays.

Tips from OCRRA: www.ocrra.org

Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCRRA) Recommends leaving grass clippings on the lawn! Grass clippings are 80 to 85 percent water. If you mow your lawn once a week, the clippings will filter down and decompose within 7-10 days. Also reduces the amount of fertilizer you need by 25 -30% by returning nutrients to soil. Use as mulch, place up to one inch thick around the base of shrubs. The mulch will prevent water loss and eventually decompose. Compost them. Mix with leaves, wood chips or garden materials.
