Proctor Curbside Trash and Recycling Pick-up

The Town of Proctor contracts with Casella Waste Management for curbside pick-up of household garbage and recyclables.  Our agreement with Casella is based on factors that allow waste disposal and recycling to our residents at a very reasonable cost. One 64 gallon trash cart and one 96 gallon Zero-Sort recycling container will be provided to each dwelling and business unit. The 64 gallon trash cart will be picked up every Wednesday and the 96 gallon recycling cart will be picked up every other Wednesday.  Although a 64 gallon trash cart picked up every week will offer your household a lot of capacity, we understand that there may be times during the year when you will have more trash generated at your home than may fit into your cart. To handle your overflow trash there will be 30 gallon maroon Town of Proctor trash bags available to purchase for $2.00 a piece.  The $2.00 covers the cost of the bag and the associated extra disposal costs the Town incurs when you have overages. We will only be picking up this maroon bag of overflow trash.  No other color or type of bag will be accepted. Overage bag program has been initiated by the town to ensure that the additional costs associated with excess levels of waste will be paid by the household generating it rather than the Town residents as a whole.  The bags will be sold exclusively at the Town of Proctor office and at the Transfer Station.

.

For this program to remain cost effective, it is vital that Proctor residents use this service sensibly.  The following conditions should be met to ensure that the cost of our curbside service remains economical:

.

All curbside pick-ups are for Proctor trash and recyclables ONLY.

• All trash and recyclables must be outside by 6:30 a.m. each Wednesday, preferably in protected bins so animals cannot gain access.

• Trash includes typical household garbage - NOT items such as demolition debris, drywall, appliances, or furniture.  These materials can be disposed of at the Proctor Transfer Station on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

• Recyclables include tin/aluminum, glass, plastics, cardboard, newspaper, magazines and catalogs.  Green recycling bins are available at the Town Offices.  Please make every effort to recycle as recycling reduces Proctor's waste disposal costs.
