Village garbage and refuse collection is handled by the Town of Oyster Bay through an intermunicipal cooperative agreement between the Town and the Village. Village residents have garbage, rubbish and bulk items collected twice a week and recyclable material is collected once a week.
Garbage includes all animal and vegetable waste and easily combustible materials.
Garbage must be placed in securely covered metal or plastic cans. Plastic bags may be used for rubbish and leaves, but not for garbage as bags easily can be tom open by food-seeking animals. Rubbish is any solid material such as carpet, metal, crockery, ashes, lawn and tree trimmings and wood. Rubbish containers may not exceed 32 gallons. Items such as branches, shrubs, carpets and boxes from appliances or furniture must be tied into bundles not exceeding four feet in length and two feet in diameter.
