Dear Town of New Hartford Residents,
We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with updated information related to our 2026 Trash Drop-off and Brush Collection service. As in the past, we will continue to provide our trash drop-off service at the Highway Garage at 111 New Hartford Street, New Hartford, NY 13413. We will have a designated spot at the Highway Garage where residents can drop off their items.
Residents will be responsible for unloading and disposing of their own items. This service will begin on Monday, April 6,2026, and will continue every Monday until September 21, 2026. The hours of this service will be from 7:00 AM to 11:00AM. As a note, we will add Saturday, May 16 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM for a drop-off as well, along with paper shredding. If a holiday falls on a Monday, then the drop-off will be on Tuesday. Please see the PDF for our guidelines. A reminder that you must provide proof of residency to be able to utilize this service.
We will also offer our Tag Service for anyone who is unable to bring their items to the Highway Garage. Tags ($5.00 per item) can be purchased at the Town Clerk’s Office at 8635 Clinton Street, New Hartford, NY 13413. Office hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. (315) 733-7500 ext. 2320. Items will be picked up on the first MONDAY of every month from April to September. If a holiday falls on a Monday, then the items will be picked up on Tuesday. Tags must be purchased by noon, the Friday before pick up day.
Curbside trash pickup for each ward will start in October 2026.
Also continuing this year at the Highway Garage is our free Computer & Electronics Recycling Collection Service. We will accept all televisions, computer equipment/accessories (e.g. monitors, keyboards, printers, ink cartridges, etc.), miscellaneous electronics (e.g. circuit boards, video game consoles, cell phones, music players, power supplies, etc.).
Thank you for your cooperation in complying with the guidelines we have in the linked flyer. If you have any questions regarding dates, eligible items, or the aforementioned services, please do not hesitate to call the trash hotline at (315) 733-7500 ext. 2326.
Once again, please remember that your cooperation makes our jobs easier and keeps our neighborhood a clean and safe environment to live in. Please follow the schedule for pickups and please notify your landscapers and contractors that it is their responsibility to dispose of any debris.
