Residential Refuse, Yard Debris, Recycling Program
We are pleased to provide you with the Town of Perinton’s updated Residential Refuse Policy and Recycling Program. The following policy outlines our refuse program “do’s” and “don’ts”, helps minimize duplication of services between the Town, garbage disposal companies, and WM Recycle America, (who provides town-wide residential recycling services), and mitigates the safety hazards and unsightliness associated with debris placed in the public right-of-way. Please refer to the following information when placing items out for collection and thank you for working with us to “help keep Perinton clean”.
General Collection Policies
- ALL LOOSE DEBRIS must be placed in a container and shall not exceed 50 pounds in weight, including the container.
- Tree branches, vines, steel posts/pipe must be cut in 4-foot lengths.
- Materials shall not be placed at the roadside for collection more than 24-hours in advance of the scheduled collection day. (Bulk leaf pick-up is an exception).
- All materials should be placed adjacent to the road shoulder, not in the roadway.
- Town crews attempt to remove all debris without causing damage; however, at times, large amounts of material placed on driveways or lawn areas will cause minor damage during the collection process. Any damage that occurs is the homeowner’s responsibility.
- Grass clippings are not collected by the Town of Perinton.
Items Collected by the Town of Perinton Department of Public Works
| Yard Waste | Yard waste is defined as leaves, weeds, garden material, fruit and any other plant materials, excluding grass clippings. All loose material must be placed in reusable waterproof containers, i.e. garbage cans – plastic or metal. Materials placed in cardboard boxes or bags (paper or plastic) will not be collected. |
| Tree Debris | Tree debris is defined as brush, tree limbs, firewood, and small stumps less than 12″ in diameter. Small amounts of brush and tree limbs must be placed in reusable waterproof containers, i.e. garbage cans – plastic or metal. Brush or tree limbs placed in cardboard boxes or bags (plastic or paper) will not be collected. Larger amounts of tree debris should be cut to 4 foot lengths and piled parallel with the curb on your property. Piles that are too large for our daily collection crews to handle will be picked up with different equipment within one to three weeks. No contractor piles (material generated by a contractor must be removed as part of their service). |
| Tires | Four tires per house per year will be collected. |
| Stone and Concrete | Small amounts of stone, concrete, and asphalt can be collected by our service. All material should be placed in reusable waterproof containers that do not exceed 50 pounds in total weight. Uncontainerized material will not be collected. |

| Leaves | Leaves will be collected in bulk with vacuum machines or loaders. Collection will occur on a 4-6-week cycle in the fall from Labor Day until snow arrives, and in the spring during the months of April and May. Leaves should be placed at the edge of your property, not on the pavement. DO NOT MIX sticks or other debris in the leaf piles (this will break the leaf vacuums). Leaf piles that contain sticks or other debris must be containerized to facilitate collection. Leaves placed in reusable waterproof containers will be collected year round on your regularly scheduled collection day. Leaves placed in cardboard boxes or bags (plastic or paper) will not be collected. |
