!Contamination Tips
Don't Bag Village Leaves
If you live in the Village of Webster, the DPW strictly prohibits bagging autumn leaves for the fall vacuum collection. Piling leaves in plastic or paper bags slows down the automated trucks. If you have leftover leaves in the spring, you must bag them for your private garbage hauler instead.
Keep Lumber and Vines Out of Brush
When preparing brush for the Village DPW pickup, never include scrap lumber, thorny vines, grapevines, or root balls packed with dirt. These tough materials can severely damage the heavy-duty blades on the municipal chippers, and mixed piles will be left at the curb.
Leave Grass Clippings to the Haulers
Neither the Town nor the Village of Webster public works departments collect grass clippings or weeds. You must use a mulching mower, compost them on your property, or bag them up strictly for your privately hired waste hauler.

About Webster Waste Management
Webster's Subscription-Based Trash System
Unlike municipalities that manage city-wide sanitation, the Town of Webster requires residents to independently contract with licensed private waste haulers. Companies such as Waste Management, Casella, and Cook's Disposal operate within the town boundaries, offering customizable residential schedules. Because routes are independently managed, your exact pickup day and container rules will depend entirely on the specific company you hire.
Recycling Drop-Off at High Acres Landfill
If you prefer not to hire a private hauler for standard recyclables, the Town of Webster offers an alternative. Residents who do not contract for garbage pickup are permitted to drop off sorted, clean recyclables directly at the High Acres Landfill and Recycling Center in neighboring Fairport, or at Alpco Recycling in Macedon. However, this exemption strictly applies to recyclables, not household garbage.
Village DPW Brush and Leaf Services
For those living within the Village of Webster limits, the Department of Public Works provides free seasonal brush and leaf collection. Brush is typically removed during the first full week of each month year-round. All branches must measure between 1 and 6 inches in diameter, be cut to at least 4 feet in length, and face the street. The town explicitly bans contractor-generated debris, lumber, and root balls from these municipal piles.
Town vs. Village Yard Debris Rules
It is important to know your exact jurisdiction when handling yard waste. While the Village of Webster offers monthly brush pickup, the broader Town of Webster Highway Department does not provide routine curbside brush removal. Town residents must either hire a private landscaper, bundle their debris according to their private hauler's rules, or drop off Christmas trees at the Highway Department during the winter months.
Mulch and Wood Chip Deliveries
Both the Town and Village of Webster prioritize sustainable yard waste recycling. The Town Highway Department processes collected tree debris into leaf mulch and wood chips, which are made available to residents. Tax-paying Webster residents can even arrange for home delivery of mulch and chip seal stones for a $50 municipal fee, bringing bulk landscaping materials right to your driveway.
