Saratoga County uses private haulers (Waste Management, Casella, County Waste & Recycling) — no county-run pickup. Saratoga Springs offers municipal collection under Chapter 221. Towns contract pickup or residents hire directly. Weekly service typical with holiday delays.
Saratoga County does not provide countywide curbside trash collection. Saratoga Springs operates municipal trash and recycling pickup under City Code Chapter 221 (Solid Waste), with residents receiving toters and a designated weekly pickup day; bins must be out by 7 AM on collection day. Clifton Park, Halfmoon, Malta, and Ballston Spa residents contract directly with private haulers — predominantly Waste Management, Casella Waste Systems, and County Waste & Recycling Service. Weekly service is typical, often with a separate recycling day. Major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day) shift pickup by one day. Bins must be removed from the curb within 24 hours of collection. The Saratoga County Landfill is closed to general public except through transfer stations operated by individual towns.
Saratoga Springs bin placement violation: $25 first offense, up to $100 repeat. Illegal dumping under NY ECL §27-1015: $1,500 to $15,000 per incident. Missed pickup complaints handled via hauler or city DPW.
