During winter months, please make sure that trash and recycling totes are not interfering with snow plowing operations. It is recommended that they be placed in driveway openings the morning of collection. Totes that are in the roadway beyond the extension of mail boxes are in danger of being struck and/or damaged. This will help State and Town plowing efforts to clear roads. For information on trash collection, click here for a link to the Wyoming County website page on curb-side collection.
