Recycling is Now Once a Week in South Nyack

Recycling is considerably more cost-effective than trash collection, said South Nyack village officials announcing that to better meet the demands of residents, the village negotiated a weekly recycling collection.

The change to an every-Thursday pickup comes at an increased cost equating to 74 cents per resident, per year.

Tonnage data for both recycling and trash is being compiled to help the village continue to optimize the value of its solid waste services.

Last year, collecting recyclables every other Thursday, the village recycled 232 tons. The new weekly pick-up schedule should up that stat.

Recycling bins are available at Village Hall.

Remember: Recyclables such as newspapers, glass and tin cans may not be mixed with regular household garbage. Garbage carters are subject to fines for collecting items that can be recycled.
