Oneida County trash containers must be covered, rodent-resistant, and stored out of public view between collection days. Utica Code Chapter 2-13 and Rome Property Maintenance Code enforce. Set-out typically allowed 12-24 hours before pickup.
NY Property Maintenance Code Section 308 requires all containers to be leakproof, rodent-resistant, and kept covered. City of Utica Code Chapter 2-13 Article V requires residents to store bins behind the front building line on non-collection days; violators receive notice of violation. City of Rome Code Chapter 58 similarly restricts visible storage and sets Thursday collection in most neighborhoods. Town of New Hartford uses private haulers (Feher Rubbish, Waste Management) with set-out allowed after 6 PM the night before. Containers may not be placed on sidewalks, public rights-of-way, or block pedestrian access. Bulk/yard waste collection days vary by municipality. Utica requires recycling separation per Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority (OHSWA) rules. Unregistered dumpsters need city permit and placement approval.
Utica bin violation: $50 first offense, $100 second, $250 third. Chronic violations may result in court appearance tickets under Utica Code Chapter 2-13. OHSWA illegal dumping: up to $1,000 fine.
