Starting in mid-October, curbside garbage collection in Tarrytown will be reduced to once a week.
Village officials decided to make the change in service after a pilot program that kicked off last December in a portion of the village in an effort to cut costs and improve efficiency, proved to be viable.
The change will mean household garbage that was collected Mondays and Thursdays will now be only on Mondays. Garbage that was picked up Tuesdays and Fridays will now only be on Tuesdays.
Recycling materials will be continued to be collected every Wednesday and organics will continue to be collected on Thursdays. Large bulk trash items will be collected by appointment.
Each single-family home will receive one free 95-gallon rolling cart that village sanitation vehicles will be able to empty with a mechanical arm, freeing up village employees from having to lift heavy garbage cans. Multi-family residences will receive one free 95-gallon rolling cart for every two units. Homeowners with physical limitations can request a smaller 65-gallon rolling cart.

For those residents who believe they will need an additional rolling cart or more, which can be obtained for a fee of $3 per additional cart per week, and “Payment for the additional carts must be made in advance for a 52 week period,” the Village states.
Any residents with questions about the collection change can contact the Department of Public Works at (914) 631-0356.
