Trash (Garbage) and Recycling Penalties

 

Due to increased tipping costs and contaminated recycling fees, beginning in January, Village of Homer employees will be spot checking residential’s individual Trash and Recycling bins. If items not in compliance with the rules for what is allowed or are overflowing, or trash/garbage is being put into Recycling bins, then the bin will be flagged. Syracuse Hauler will not pick up the flagged Trash or Recycling bin. Residents will have to remove the flagged bin’s contents or item and have it disposed by a local hauler at the residents’ expense. In addition, the following fines will be assessed:
