The Village is working towards creating a composting area for
those wastes which are able to be composted. Therefore, it is important
that waste is handled correctly and not mixed.
In the interest of keeping Unadilla looking good, it is requested
that this waste not be placed at curbside until near pickup time.
It is also requested that these materials be placed out as early as
possible on pickup days so that none is missed on that particular
day. To prevent some from abusing the privilege of this service, the
Village of Unadilla reserves the right to limit quantities.
Copies of the new waste collection policy will be included with
the August water billing and will also be sent to the newspapers as
new items.
