Refuse Collection and Disposal/Recycling

The Village of Marcellus contracts out all of  its residential garbage and recycling collections.  All residences automatically receive refuse and recycling collection once weekly, on Wednesdays and there is a refuse rate charge per unit per quarter. Most residents in the Village are billed for a single unit each quarter, although other property owners, including  businesses, are billed for more units because 
of multiple dwellings or because more than usual amounts of refuse are generated. 

There is sometimes a delay in collection in the Village due to holidays and these delays are announced to residents in a quarterly newsletter. In an agreement, approved in 
December of 1981, with the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency, the Village of 
Marcellus has committed its solid waste and recyclables to that agency. 

Materials acceptable for recycling are placed in blue bins which 
are provided (one per residence due to limited availability) to residents 
for their use.  For guidance regarding recyclable materials please visit the OCRRA website at https://ocrra.org/services/recycle/

The recycling program in Onondaga County has proven to be one of the most successful in the country.

In addition, “Operation Separation” as it is called, is one of the programs of the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCRRA) that has led the way in promoting an environmentally sound plan to also deal with electronic waste (computers, televisions, etc.),  and hazardous waste (pesticides, herbicides, paints and paint thinner, cleaning supplies, etc.)  as well as the recycling of old hardcover and paperback books. This is a program that has been emulated in communities throughout the country and the Village of Marcellus is proud to be a part of this significant endeavor.
