The Refuse and Recycling Division provides refuse, recycling, and yard waste collection through a private contractor, Tringali Sanitation. We service over 35,000 single family homes, condominiums, apartments, mobile homes, duplexes, and small commercial businesses on a weekly basis.
Updates
Yard Waste Collection has resumed for the 2023 season. The last week of collection will be the week of December 11th.
Yard waste must be prepared according to our yard waste guidelines:
- Yard waste bags shall be placed in 35-gallon (maximum) containers within a City of Troy yard waste sticker (available for free at any City building) OR in a paper yard waste bag.
- Brush or branches shall be 2 inches in diameter or smaller and cut to less than 3 feet in length, bundled and tied.
- Tringali will not be collecting branches that are larger than the sizes stated above. Any large brush will need to be cut down or chipped by a privately hired company.
A full list of our guidelines for yard waste collection can be found here.
