Solid Trash Schedule 2026

Solid trash includes everyday household waste that cannot be recycled. This includes food waste, packaging, and general household garbage.

In 2026, most residential properties in the Town of Clarkstown receive solid trash pickup twice per week on assigned weekdays. Your exact pickup days depend on your location and route.

Solid trash must be placed in covered containers that display an official Town of Clarkstown garbage sticker. Each residential property is typically allowed one stickered container, and additional stickers can be purchased if more containers are needed. Containers should not exceed the recommended weight limit and must be manageable for collection crews.

Trash containers must be placed curbside the night before or early in the morning on your scheduled pickup day. Loose bags, uncovered containers, or trash placed outside of approved containers will not be collected. Trash should never be placed at the curb too early, as this can lead to fines or complaints.

Recycling Schedule 2026

Recycling is collected separately from solid trash and follows a weekly schedule in the Town of Clarkstown. Recycling days vary by area, but most residents have recycling pickup once per week.

Recyclable materials must be placed in the appropriate town approved recycling bins. Paper and cardboard should be separated from plastic, glass, and metal containers according to town guidelines. Cardboard must be flattened and cut to manageable sizes before being placed at the curb.

Recycling containers should be placed curbside the night before the scheduled recycling day. Items should be clean and free of food residue to prevent contamination. Plastic bags, food waste, and non recyclable materials should never be mixed with recycling.

Recycling schedules may differ in certain sections of the town, so residents are encouraged to confirm their exact recycling day using the official address lookup map.

Bulk Trash Schedule 2026

Bulk trash collection in the Town of Clarkstown is provided once per month for residential properties. Bulk pickup occurs on a designated week that aligns with your regular garbage collection day.

Bulk trash includes large household items that do not fit in standard garbage containers. Common bulk items include furniture, mattresses, appliances, and large household objects. Refrigerators and appliances must have doors removed for safety before placement at the curb.

Bulk items should be placed curbside no earlier than the weekend before the scheduled bulk pickup week and no later than the night before collection. Items placed too early may be subject to removal violations.

Construction debris, contractor materials, concrete, dirt, stones, and large renovation waste are not accepted as bulk trash. If work is performed by a contractor, it is the contractor’s responsibility to remove all debris.

Bulk items are collected by a separate truck, so they may not be picked up at the same time as regular trash or recycling.

Holiday Garbage Schedule 2026

Garbage and recycling collection in Clarkstown is affected by certain observed holidays in 2026. When a holiday falls on a regular pickup day, collection is usually delayed by one day for the remainder of that week.

Commonly observed holidays include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

During holiday weeks, residents should expect delayed service and place containers out on the adjusted collection day. Recycling pickup may also be postponed during these weeks.
