Town of Babylon provides curbside residential collection twice weekly for garbage and weekly for recycling through Town contract haulers. Chapter 167 governs collection rules, with containers placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the evening before collection.
Town Code Chapter 167 (Solid Waste) establishes collection schedules, container standards, and placement rules. Residential garbage is collected twice per week with specific days assigned by address. Recycling is collected weekly on an alternating paper and commingled container schedule. Containers must be at the curb by 6 AM on collection day and removed by 6 PM the same day. Yard waste is collected seasonally per the Town calendar.
Improper placement, leaving cans at curb beyond 6 PM on collection day, or using unapproved containers can result in a warning followed by fines of 50-250 dollars per violation.
