- Residents can bring a maximum of four filing boxes per vehicle. Due to an anticipated high volume, the 4 box limit per vehicle will be enforced in order to ensure that all residents have a chance to shred their personal documents.
- Material should be loose in boxes or paper bags and easily accessible in the back of the vehicle. Empty boxes will be returned to the vehicle; please do NOT put items in plastic bags.
Medical documents, bank information, tax records, and other paperwork containing account numbers or private details are ideal for drop off. Junk mail, magazines, phone books or other envelopes should go directly into the paper recycling bin. Business waste will not be accepted.

2021 Punch Card Costs: $16.00/5 Punches
Effective January 1st, 2021, the price of punch cards will increase to $16 per card.
Residents looking to dispose of garbage and non-recyclable materials at our transfer stations can purchase punch cards at the Scale House or at local gas stations and businesses around the county. Please note that our main office continues to be closed to the public. Each punch card has 5 punches on them with each punch being the equivalent of a 33 gallon can or bag. Recyclables including paper, cardboard, accepted plastic/metal/glass containers and scrap metal are free to drop off.
2020 punch cards and other previous cards with an expiration date will still be honored at the Transfer Stations. As of October 9 2018, punch cards will no longer have an expiration date. Instead, a "Please Use By" date will be printed on the card. We encourage you to use the cards ASAP. However, we do NOT give out refunds for unused punches.

Used Motor Oil Program Update

Per NYS law, most vehicle service and vehicle retail businesses must accept used motor oil for recycling at no charge to the public. Call your local retailers or service centers for take-back programs and restrictions. These places include: Walmart Auto Care Center, NAPA Auto Parts, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts and several other locations located across the county.
