Bulk Trash PickupWest Seneca, NY
West Seneca’s sanitation program has some of the strictest DIY debris rules in Erie County β and a totes-only policy that trips up homeowners regularly. Here’s what actually gets collected and what doesn’t.
How West Seneca’s Bulk Trash Program Works
West Seneca enforces a strict totes-only policy since March 3, 2014. Any old garbage can or recycling bin placed curbside will be permanently removed. All trash must fit in the tote with lid closed β loose bags or overflow are not collected. Contractor debris is never accepted under any circumstances. For project debris you do yourself, bag, box, or bundle at 50 lbs max with nails removed. Contact the Sanitation Department for bulk item scheduling.
