[Adopted 1-17-1995]
A.
Trash items such as televisions, refrigerators, chairs,
tires, etc., will be picked up by Village of Owego employees as a
service paid for by Village residents. The Village of Owego will not
pick up any household garbage or hazardous/toxic waste. Pickup is
on Friday of each week (holiday weeks if possible), and the cutoff
to get onto the Friday pickup list is 12:00 noon on Thursday. Any
property owner can call the Village office, state their name, address
and items to be picked up and be placed on the trash pickup list for
that week. If a call is placed after 12:00 noon on Thursday, the resident's
pickup request will be placed on the following Friday's list. A property
owner may be billed for services, but a tenant must pay in advance
and leave a deposit for the estimated tipping fee. All unpaid trash
bills will be levied against the property owner's tax bill.
B.
All items to be picked up by Village of Owego employees
must be placed in the berm area in front of their property. No Village
of Owego employee is permitted to enter a residence to extract trash
items as this is an insurance liability to the Village.
