Garbage/Recycling
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. The following materials are acceptable for recycling and are placed in blue bins which are provided (two, if requested) to residents for their use: · mixed paper and junk mail · magazines, catalogs and telephone books · corrugated cardboard, no larger than 3’ by 3’ · aluminum and tin cans, rinsed clean · aerosol cans which are empty · glass bottles and jars, clear and colored, rinsed clean · milk and juice cartons · plastics labeled #1 and #2 · pizza boxes 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. |
