North Syracuse neighbors not happy with new trash rollout
VILLAGE OF NORTH SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Some viewers have reached out to the Your Stories Team, wondering why the Village of North Syracuse didn't give its residents more notice about changes to its trash pickup.
Neighbors who contacted us and those posting online said they were surprised when their trash and recycling bins were picked up this week and driven away by Syracuse Trash Haulers.
Several people claimed they had no clue what was happening until an 'Urgent Notice' from the village was put on their door telling them of the trash change.
'Talk about poor planning,' one resident wrote on the Village of North Syracuse Facebook page.
According to North Syracuse Mayor Gary Butterfield, the village's contract with Syracuse Haulers expires at the end of the month. Starting June 1, Butler Disposal will become the village's new trash and recycling hauler. He said the village is required to accept the lowest bid, which was Butler.
Butterfield said the village worked with Onondaga County to help with the bidding process. He said they had a short window to alert the people of North Syracuse of the contract change.
He added they posted the information on their website and Facebook page, but admits the communication wasn't perfect. He said they could have done better with the transition and getting the word out.
The village said Butler will drop off new trash and recycling carts starting June 5.
'So, where is the trash supposed to be stored in the meantime?' Another resident posted on Facebook.
The mayor said that while the carts will not be delivered until June 5, Butler will start picking up trash on the week of June 2nd.
'June 2nd, June 3rd, and June 4th, will have manual trash pickup that will pick up your bags at the road….trash on one side, recyclables on the other side. If you can save your recyclables/trash until the following week – perfect – you will have a tote available for the following week. Again, we apologize for any of these difficulties,' The Village of North Syracuse wrote on its Facebook page.
