Big Garbage DayHamburg, NY
Hamburg switched to Modern Disposal Services on March 23, 2026 — a brand new trash, recycling, and big garbage day program with Week A/Week B scheduling. If you haven’t checked the new rules yet, this guide has everything Hamburg residents need.
How Hamburg’s Big Garbage Day Program Works in 2026
Hamburg’s big garbage day — officially bulk trash pickup — changed significantly in 2026. The town selected Modern Disposal Services to replace the previous contractor starting March 23, 2026. The new program uses a Week A/Week B calendar for collection scheduling. Residents should check townofhamburgny.gov for the current 2026 calendar showing which week their address falls in. For questions about the new program, call Hamburg Town Hall at (716) 649-6111.
