2022 Fall Document Shredding Event
The Madison County Department of Solid Waste will host their next document shredding event in Hamilton this Fall:
Saturday, October 15, 2022
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Parry's Parking Lot
100 Utica St, Hamilton NY
Please review the following information before attending the shred event:
- Due to limitations in the shred event's truck capacity and to ensure those attending have an opportunity to drop off their documents for shredding, each household can bring a maximum of four filing boxes per vehicle. This event is for Madison County residents only; business waste will not be accepted. Residents do not need to register for this event.
- 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.
- Accepted documents for shredding: Medical documents, bank information, tax records, and other paperwork containing account numbers or private details are ideal for drop off. Please do not bring junk mail, magazines, phone books or other envelopes. These items can go into your normal paper recycling bin.
Questions? Call the Dept. of Solid Waste Main Office at 315-361-8408.
2022 Electronic Recycling Events for Madison County Residents
As a reminder, certain electronics such as TVs and computers cannot go in your household garbage and must be brought to an electronics recycler.
Our department funds a FREE electronic recycling program for Madison County residents. The program is available year-round Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM (excludes holidays). Bring your accepted electronics to LOJO Technology (634 Birchwood Drive, Oneida) and drop off the materials in the designated bins located outside the building. Please note an attendant will not be available to help unload.
In addition, we will continue to offer quarterly Saturday electronic collection events in 2022. Madison County residents can drop off acceptable electronic items at LOJO Technology on the following Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM: October 1.
For information about our electronic recycling program and to see a list of accepted items, visit: www.madisoncounty.ny.gov/2389/Electronic-Waste
2022 Punch Card Costs: $20.00/5 Punches
Effective January 1st, 2022, the price of punch cards increased to $20 per card. The Madison County Board of Supervisors determined it was necessary to increase the 2022 punch card fee in order to more fully offset the costs of operating the transfer stations. Residents looking to dispose of household 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. Recyclables including paper, cardboard, accepted plastic/metal/glass containers and scrap metal are free to drop off.
Although punch cards have a 'Please Use By' date, all previous cards (2021 and older) do not expire and will still be honored at the transfer stations. Unused punches are non-refundable. To see a complete list of punch card vendors, please click here.
In 2022, the number of punches required for freon-containing units (refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.) will increase to 5 punches per unit and the maximum number of passenger tires allowed per visit at a transfer station is 4.
Used Motor Oil Program Update
Effective February 1, 2021, used motor oil will no longer be accepted at our transfer stations. To see a list of locations near each transfer station, check out this flyer.
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.
