Questions & Answers

I know they take TV's but do they need to be whole or can they be stripped down ?

Televisions must be whole, cant't be shattered and must have the cords attached.

Do you have soil/dirt we can pick up?

Edwin Concepcion | Aug 1, 2022

The Waste Authority is a Recycling Transfer Station and we do not have soil/dirt however I will caution you about where you get soil and dirt. Make sure they are a reputable facility as contaminated soil and dirt has been offered and received by many for free and in the end it is a very costly cleanup for the homeowner in the thousands.

Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority | Dec 4, 2021

Hello Jack, You should first check with your municipality to see when they are having a bulky waste clean up event. If that doesn't work for you then try your waste hauler who may offer a special collection. You can also take directly to the Grand Central Sanitary Landfill in which the Waste Authority has a contract for Monroe County Municipal Waste. They will charge a minimum 1/2 ton based on a per ton tipping fee of $73 for disposal. Thanks, TheWasteAuthority.Com

Thomas Cornine | Sep 30, 2020
Jim Lambert | Sep 30, 2020

No we do not. You can hire a private hauler to provide this service. Your current waste hauler should be able to provide this service. I would check with them first. You can go to our website thewasteauthority.com to find a list of private waste haulers.

If you live in Chestnuthill twp. The recycling center will take styrofoam. If not, it goes in the trash. Paint cans with paint in them can be disposed of after putting cat litter in the can and let it dry. Spray paint containers can be recycled whether there is paint in them or not.

The facility in Blakeslee is for commercial use only. We have two recycling drop off locations for Monroe County residents where can take shredded paper however we do no have shredding services. Shredded paper can be carefully placed into the paper receptacle by placing shredded paper into a paper bag and into the bin. Go to www.thewasteauthority.com for site hours of operation and acceptable material.

How do I get rid of paint cans with old paint in them.

Ronnie Hewitt | Oct 1, 2019
Jim Lambert | Oct 1, 2019

You need to solidify the paint before throwing it away. You can use kitty litter or purchase materials specifically for that purpose from a home improvement store.

Where can I take a full sharps container?

Dan Aitken | Oct 1, 2019
Jim Lambert | Oct 1, 2019

Check with your doctors office or near by hospital to see if they will take it or make sure the container is secured as not to be able to open and throw it away with your normal garbage.
