Recycling - PAPER must be recycled curbside

Please refer to the Robert Wright website for current recycling information.

Brush

Brush will be picked up as time allows and as posted on Village Community Board, usually April through early September. The Village does not clean up after a contractor. If you hire a contractor, you must hire them to remove debris.

Branches should be placed at the curb with the cut end of the wood facing out. The pieces can be long, but not more than 10 inches in diameter. Wood that contains nails or staples should be placed separately so we do not put it through the wood chipper.

Lawn Debris

In the spring, other lawn debris must be in brown bags. In the fall, leaves will be vacuumed when left at the curb.

All Other Waste

All other items should be disposed of properly. The Town of New Scotland Transfer Station is open on Saturdays throughout the year and on Wednesdays from May through September. For more information, please call 518-475-0385

Household Hazardous Waste

The Village of Voorheesville hosts a Household Hazardous Waste Day in conjunction with the Town of New Scotland in the spring of each year but what do you do the rest of the year? We found this not to be a simple answer. For paint cans you can let the remaining paint 'dry out' or put cat litter in the can to speed the drying and then put the can in your trash can. You can also visit paintcare.org. 

For more information or additional questions you can call Christine Hart at the NYSDEC Regional Office. Christine can be reached at 518-357-2348
