Summary
The City of Oneida, Madison County, New York does not fix its own holiday makeup schedule by ordinance. Instead, City of Oneida Code § 147-4D(2) requires the hauler to give customers reasonable advance notice whenever a holiday or other justifiable cause forces a deviation from the normal collection days.
The hauler shall provide to the customer reasonable advance notice of any needed deviation from the schedule due to holidays or other justifiable cause.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4996966; v33 updated 2026-07-07; through 07-07-2026).
Full Breakdown
Chapter 147, § 147-4D sets the residential curbside collection schedule, assigning each area of the City a fixed weekday (Tuesday through Friday, with no collection on Monday) under a route map amended 9-21-2010 by Ord. No. 10-05 and again 10-18-2011, effective 1-1-2012. " That means residents should expect the licensed hauler, not the City Clerk's office, to announce any week when a holiday pushes collection back a day, and the ordinance does not specify a minimum number of days of notice, a particular communication method, or a list of observed holidays.
The hauler operates under a license from the City Clerk (§ 147-9) and under Madison County's Local Law No. 3 of 1990 (§ 147-3B), which the City incorporates by reference for collection, transport and disposal citywide, so a holiday shift affecting county-coordinated recycling pickup falls under the same advance-notice duty since recyclables are collected at the same time as garbage under § 147-5B.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 147 does not set a distinct penalty for a hauler's failure to give holiday notice; a failure would fall under the general Chapter 147 penalty at § 147-7, a fine of $100 to $250 for a first offense and $250 or more plus up to 15 days' imprisonment for a repeat offense, enforced through the City's contract oversight and the Administrator of Solid Waste under § 147-6.
