RECYCLING PROGRAM
|
Reducing the amount of material being deposited in landfills not only protects our environment, it also provides revenue to the Town of Orangetown. The Town of Orangetown currently receives $26.00 per ton of material brought the Materials Recovery Facility in Hillburn, operated by the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority.
Please follow the guidelines below to avoid a delay in the pickup of your materials:
| Containers | Paper Products |
|
|
- Make sure you recycling bins are placed curbside the evening prior to your pick up date.
- Please keep paper products and containers in separate recycling bins. Containers should be washed clean and free of lids, caps, etc.
- If your recyclable material is not picked up on the scheduled date, please contact the Highway Department’s Solid Waste Hotline at 359-6500 as soon as possible.
* All cardboard must be flat and cut to pieces no larger than 3’x3’. Please do not place pieces of cardboard in a cardboard box.
If you have any questions regarding the Recycling Program, please contact the Orangetown Solid Waste Hotline at 359-6500.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – A great deal for everyone!
