How Tonawanda’s Bulk Trash Program Works

Key distinction: City of Tonawanda (city hall at 200 Niagara Street) and Town of Tonawanda (highway dept at 450 Woodward Ave, Kenmore) are separate municipalities with different programs. City bulk is limited to 4 cubic yards, max 2 pickups per month. Town uses a tote system with recycling on a yellow/blue alternating schedule. Town holiday delays affect ALL holidays — collection shifts one day for the rest of the week.
