GREEN/YARD WASTE COLLECTION [GREEN/YARD WASTE MUST BE CONTAINERIZED OR TIED/BUNDLED]
The Village of Ilion Department of Public Works maintains some 32 miles of village streets and roadways, performing regular and preventative maintenance activities including:
From early spring to late fall each year, the Department operates two (2) full time shifts of 10-hour days, one shift Monday thru Thursday and another shift Tuesday thru Friday.
From mid-November to early spring, the Department is staffed with 2 shifts and as needed for weather related incidents.
Trash collection is performed by an outside contractor through the "pay as you go" bag purchase system. In July 2011 the Oneida Herkimer Soild Waste Authority (OHSWA) announced a new program entitled "Recycle one." The Village of Ilion has signed a new contract with Spohn's Disposal. There have been some changes in the route pick-ups, a map & information about the Village of Ilion guidelines for soild waste, green waste, and recycling are available by clicking here . For additional information on the "recycle one" program or other questions you may also go to the OHSWA website at: http://ohswa.org/. The current outside contractor is Spohn's Disposal.
The Village of Ilion began green waste pickup starting on April 1, 2019. All residents are asked to put the green waste into dumpable containers. Pickups will be on Mondays only. Green waste pickup will end in the beginning of December.
