Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority (OHSWA) manages solid waste and recycling regionally. Municipal contracts or private haulers handle curbside pickup; schedules vary by city/town.
OHSWA (est. 1988 under NY Public Authorities Law) operates the Regional Landfill in Ava and transfer stations. Utica contracts with private haulers for residential pickup (weekly trash, biweekly recycling). Rome operates municipal Department of Public Works collection. Towns typically require residents to contract privately or use OHSWA transfer stations. Set-out: night before or by 6 AM on collection day; containers retrieved by end of collection day.
