PUBLIC NOTICE - Bulky Item Clean Up

Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe Solid Waste Management Program will be offering a COVID-19 Contaminated Material Removal Program free of charge. This program is made possible through CARES Act funding and will begin August 5, 2020 in different areas of the community; please see attached map.

This initiative is in response to the COVID-19 health emergency. The objective is to eliminate the bulky materials from homes, making it easier to sanitize in the effort to prevent the spread of the virus.

This special collection service does not include your regular household waste. The Tribe will collect the following bulk items: old furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions, computers and computer monitors. Only SANITIZED bulky items, white goods and scrap metal will be collected.

Non-acceptable materials: hazardous waste: paints, paint cans, waste oil, anti-freeze, asbestos containing materials, paint thinner, cleaning products, household trash, materials containing and/or leaking liquids, yard equipment, radioactive materials, PCB containing materials, and lead/acid batteries.

In order to have your bulky items collected,

1. Locate your house and determine which area you live in.

2. Sanitize/disinfect all bulky materials to be discarded.

3. Place your bulky materials at the road two days prior to your area’s collection dates.

4. The Tribe will pick up your materials during your area’s collection dates.

5. The Tribe will not come back to collect materials if you put them out after your area has been collected.
