Yard waste runs on Sundays, scrap metal needs a phone call
Yard waste is limited to 50 items a week with each item under 50 lbs, goes out the Sunday night before the collection week, stays separate from garbage and never includes grass. Brush and branches go bundled, bagged or in 32 gallon containers with bundles tied and no larger than 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet, leaves and plant material have to be bagged at no more than 50 bags a week, and branches over 6 inches, logs, stumps, dirt, sand and loose brush or leaves are refused. Leaves can go to the Manorville Compost Facility free, and leaves and brush to the Solid Waste Management Facility free. Scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions do not use the ordinary bulk allowance at all: the town asks residents to call 631-451-TOWN so a town crew can schedule the pickup, and heavier loads such as boats, concrete, construction and renovation debris, refuse, tires and waste oil go to the Solid Waste Management Facility in a car, single-axle trailer, pickup or van against its published disposal fee schedule, where no more than four residential tires a day are taken with the rims removed and commercial tires are refused.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
