Observed Holidays
Seasonal Information
Winter
December to MarchDuring heavy Westchester County snowfalls, keep your trash and recycling totes out of the street and safely set back from snowbanks. This allows town plows to clear the roads efficiently without damaging or burying your receptacles.
Fall
October to NovemberAutumn leaves cannot be mixed with household waste. Ensure all seasonal yard debris is composted or managed separately, as state mandates forbid combining organic yard waste with standard municipal solid waste.
Spring/Summer
April to SeptemberNorthern Westchester is home to an active wildlife population, including bears, raccoons, and foxes. Store your trash bins in a secure garage or shed, and do not place them at the curb until the morning of pickup to prevent animals from scattering debris.
Local Tips & Community Info
Somers Sanitation and WIN Waste Services
Residential refuse and recycling collection throughout the Town of Somers, New York, is coordinated via professional private partnerships, with WIN Waste Services (formerly City Carting) acting as a primary operational presence and local transfer station. Homeowners must ensure their waste management arrangements comply with Westchester County regulations. Standard household garbage should be securely bagged and contained within durable, watertight receptacles. Bins must be positioned curbside by early morning hours on designated collection days, ensuring that pathways remain clear of pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
Westchester County Recycling Protocols
Adhering to strict environmental mandates, Somers enforces mandatory recycling protocols across all residential neighborhoods. Acceptable materials—including corrugated cardboard, office paper, glass containers, and rigid metal cans—must be comingled cleanly in designated recycling bins. Plastic bags, Styrofoam packaging, and food-contaminated materials are strictly banned from the recycling stream, as they cause major mechanical jams at sorting plants. Residents should rinse all containers thoroughly before setting them out for bi-weekly pick-up windows.
Transfer Station Access and Disposal Fees
For property owners generating excess debris, oversized junk, or construction materials that exceed standard weekly curbside parameters, the local WIN Waste facility located along Route 100 serves as a designated drop-off station. This site accepts a wide variety of non-hazardous solid waste items. Visitors must present proof of local residency and be prepared to pay scale-based user fees determined by weight and vehicle category. All open utility trailers or trucks transporting waste to the station must be securely covered with a tarp to avoid highway litter fines.
Handling Electronic Waste and Household Toxins
New York State environmental conservation laws prohibit throwing electronics and hazardous chemicals into regular household trash. Discarded items such as computer towers, flat-screen televisions, rechargeable batteries, and fluorescent light bulbs require specialized handling. Somers residents can take advantage of Westchester County's designated household hazardous waste collection events or utilize certified regional e-waste drop-off locations to safely neutralize toxic materials before they reach traditional landfills.
Holiday Service Modifications
Collection schedules across Somers are subject to alteration whenever a major federal holiday falls on a regular weekday, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, or Memorial Day. In these instances, sanitation collection routes are generally pushed back by one day for the remainder of that specific service week. Residents are encouraged to monitor local municipal notifications or check directly with their hauling provider to confirm exact day adjustments following holiday interruptions.
