In-House Sanitation

The Village is improving the way we collect garbage! Through the Toter trash cart program, the Village will provide each residence and business with Village garbage collection service a Toter trash cart for their garbage collection service starting in December 2022.  The new sanitation trucks coming in 2023 have a mechanical tipper arm on the back to pick up the Toter trash cart and empty it into the truck. The Toter trash carts are the property of the Village of Pelham, provided for use at the specific address.  

There are many reasons; the primary ones are:

This new program improves aesthetics at the curbside by giving a single look to the trash containers set out for collection

The trash carts have lids to keep the refuse contained within the cart and critters out.

The tipper on the Sanitation trucks to lift and empty the cart will relieve much of the physical stress on our employees

It will start in December 2022. Only garbage and recycling in a Toter trash cart with the Pelham Village logo will be collected, with a few exceptions.

Residences will receive three (3) Toter trash carts

One 64-gallon Toter trash cart for garbage

One 64-gallon Toter trash cart for paper/cardboard recycling; and

One 32-gallon Toter trash cart for comingled recycling

Commercial businesses with trash collection services will receive One 96-gallon Toter trash cart.
