Trash Collection

The Village collects regular household trash as part of its regular pickup schedule. For anything out of the ordinary — bicycles, appliances, equipment, and similar items — please call 845-354-1000, Option 4 to inquire whether we're able to pick it up.

The Village does not collect materials from home improvement, remodeling, or demolition/construction projects; these are not considered trash. Please arrange removal with your contractor or a private carting service.
