Free bulk trash dropoff program unveiled

Mayor Carmella Mantello today announced the start of a new, weekly, free bulk trash dropoff program for city residents. 

It has been several years since Troy residents have been able to dispose of household items during the winter months. In the past, the bulk pickup has been suspended annually from December through Spring with residents then paying various fees. 

“This new dropoff continues our commitment to make our streets safer and cleaner through our new 'Quality of Life Action Task Force',” Mantello said. “For too many years residents did not have a way to dispose of household items during the winter months and we are noticing more illegal dumping of mattresses and couches along our streets and alleyways.” 

The new mayor said that, along with this new free service, "We will continue to enhance our enforcement efforts placing mobile trail cams in certain illegal dumping hot spots and increasing our litter patrols and code enforcement throughout the city.” 

The new dropoff service will become available beginning this Friday (February 2). Proof of City of Troy residency will be needed. 

The drop-will be available every Friday (weather dependent) during the winter at the Troy Resource Management Facility (commonly known as The Alamo). Hazardous waste, electronics, or construction materials will not be accepted. 

The Alamo) is located at 3000 Main Street in Troy and will be open each Friday (weather dependent) from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the bulk trash dropoff.
