The City of Troy is resuming its free bulk trash drop-off program for city residents, a program that began last year.
“For too many years, residents were feeling the strain on their finances of having to pay for bulk trash drop-offs," said Mayor Carmella Mantello. "This led to an increase in illegal dumping of mattresses, couches, and other items along our streets and alleyways. I am proud to continue this ... service, so our residents are not burdened by disposal fees and our streets remain safe and clean.”
The weather-dependent service will occur this Saturday as well as on Friday, April 11, and Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Troy Resource Management Facility, commonly known as The Alamo, located at 3000 Main Street. Residents must provide proof of Troy residency to participate.
Bulk items are described as oversized items such as:
• furniture• appliances• carpets• tires• television sets• mattresses
Items not accepted:
• hazardous waste• electronics• construction materials• no trailer loads• industrial waste• medical waste• sludge, household• batteries• used oil/filter• gas• kerosene• fuel oil ashes
