Mayor Jeff Molnar
- Casella will remove your old cans at no additional cost as long as you put a note on them saying "please throw away" and set them out with your trash for your scheduled service day.
- Glass is acceptable as recycling for the Village residents only. Outside the village they do not accept glass as recycling due to potential volume as they hand sort the recycling at their facility in Jamestown.
- Casella prefers to have as much of the trash bagged and tied inside the totes as possible. This makes collection easier for their workers and helps ensure nothing is left behind in the tote which could attract critters/odors.
