    Antifreeze can be delivered to the EcoDrop Utica or EcoDrop Rome, year round for proper recycling and disposal.

    Ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze, is a thick, colorless fluid derived from the cracking of petroleum.  It can be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts and can be fatal if swallowed.  Ingestion can cause liver and kidney damage.  It is especially dangerous to children, pets and wildlife because of its sweet taste.  Antifreeze should never be dumped on the ground, left spilled or in an open container.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: 

    Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State. The New York State Rechargeable Battery Law requires battery collection by both local retailers and direct sellers of rechargeable batteries. Under this law, no person shall knowingly dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste at any time in the State. Rechargeable batteries contained in electronic products must be removed prior to disposal of such products.

    Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when not managed correctly. Rechargeable batteries covered by this law include batteries for lap tops, cameras, cell phones, and rechargeable alkaline batteries.

    If a person should dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste, they shall face fines. Any retailer who violates the law shall be liable for a civil penalty.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR PROPER RECYCLING & DISPOSAL:

    Rechargeable batteries include lithium ion, lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, & lithium ion polymer batteries.

    These types of rechargeable can be found in household items such as electronic devices, medical devices, remote control toys, power tools, vacuums, chain saws, lawn mowers & more.

    ALL types of lithium batteries (single use and rechargeable) require special disposal and should be brought to the Authority or one of the locations below.

    Here is a list of locations in which you can drop-off your rechargeable batteries at no cost:

    • Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority Utica & Rome EcoDrops (year-round at no charge)
    • Best Buy - 4725 Commercial Drive, New Hartford
    • Home Depot - 545 French Road, New Hartford

    ALKALINE & OTHER NON-RECHARGABLE BATTERIES:

    Household non-rechargeable alkaline, and carbon zinc batteries should be placed in your trash for disposal. Previously, alkaline battery disposal posed environmental threat because of the mercury content. Since mercury has been phased out of battery production, single-use alkaline battery disposal has become simpler and safer and such items should be placed with your trash. Examples of non-rechargeable batteries include; flashlight batteries, button batteries, remote control batteries - or any battery that can not be recharged.

    The Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority accepts Christmas trees generated during the holiday season at the Compost Site on Leland Avenue in Utica from January 3rd to January 31st. The Christmas trees are chipped and composted by the Authority for use by area gardeners in the Spring.

    Contact your local municipality to see what the collection schedule and type of collection is for Christmas Trees (i.e. curbside or drop-off). Residents can also deliver trees during normal business hours Monday ? Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday from 7:00 am until 2:00 pm to the Authority's Leland Avenue EcoDrop in Utica until January 31st.  

    To reduce waste, use only reusable decorations on your holiday tree and avoid items such as tinsel, which is hard to remove and reuse again.  Tinsel causes a problem when we recycle the Christmas trees into compost and mulch. Christmas wreaths should be disposed of with your regular garbage. Real and artificial wreaths are held together with wire and plastic, so they cannot be safely composted.

    Remember to remove stands, garland, tinsel, lights and ornaments before the tree is set out for recycling.  Also, discard your plastic tree bag in the trash after the tree is placed at the curb.

    • To avoid accidental or intentional misuse of drugs, treat medication (liquids and pills) by adding water, salt, ashes, dirt, cat litter, coffee grounds, or another undesirable substance.
    • Place unwanted pharmaceuticals in a sealed bag or box and seal the container with strong tape.
    • Dispose of drugs in your trash as close to your trash collection day as possible.
    • Do not conceal discarded drugs in food to prevent consumption by pets or wildlife.
    • Place household sharps like needles and lancets in a puncture proof container such as a coffee can or laundry detergent bottle. The container should be sealed with tape and labeled as "sharps" and placed in the trash for disposal and not recycling,

    • Place unwanted pharmaceuticals in a sealed bag or box and seal the container with strong tape.
    • Dispose of drugs in your trash as close to your trash collection day as possible.
    • Do not conceal discarded drugs in food to prevent consumption by pets or wildlife.
    • Place household sharps like needles and lancets in a puncture proof container such as a coffee can or laundry detergent bottle. The container should be sealed with tape and labeled as "sharps" and placed in the trash for disposal and not recycling,
    • Medications with needles attached may also be disposed of at household sharps community collection programs at hospitals and nursing homes in Oneida and Herkimer Counties.

    Plastic Bags

    If you do have to use plastic grocery bags and other plastic film items, follow the instructions below for proper recycling/disposal.

    Although some plastic film items such as grocery bags have the recycling triangle with a number in the middle, they can not be recycled through the Authority’s recycling program. Plastic film can be brought to most local grocery stores for recycling.

    DO NOT PLACE PLASTIC BAGS OR OTHER PLASTIC FILM IN YOUR RECYCLING CONTAINER.

    As of January 1, 2009, a new statewide law requires certain retail and grocery stores to set up a plastic carry out bag recycling program for their customers. Stores with 10,000 square feet or more of retail space and chains which operate five or more stores with greater than 5,000 square feet of retail space, and which provide plastic carry out bags to customers are required to comply with the law.

    The collection containers for plastic bags are usually found at the entrances/exits of the stores and they take any type of grocery store bag for recycling.

    View a list of Plastic Plastic Film Drop-Off Locations.

     View a list of Acceptable Plastic Film Items.

    You can also find information and drop-off locations by visiting plasticfilmrecycling.org.

    If you are a business with large quantities of clean plastic film, please contact Director of Recycling Emily Albright at emilya@ohswa.org for recycling options.

    If you are unable to recycle your plastic grocery store bags through a take-back program or have Ziploc or bread bags, please reuse them and then dispose of them with your garbage.

    WHAT IS STYROFOAM?

    The term “Styrofoam” is actually a Dow Chemical Co. trademarked form of polystyrene foam insulation.

    Also known as Expanded Polystrene (EPS) foam, Styrofoam is basically one form of polystyrene plastic. In turn, polystyrene plastic is usually coded as #6 plastic.

    The properties of Styrofoam that make it a useful material – light weight, low cost, durable – make it hard to recycle.

    Given the light weight of Styrofoam, the cost of transporting Styrofoam to a recycling plant (given the relatively large volume of Styrofoam per unit of weight) makes it often cost prohibitive to send Styrofoam for recycling.

    Styrofoam used in food packaging is usually contaminated and would require cleaning before they can be processed for recycling. This adds further cost to the process of recycling Styrofoam, making it economically less viable.

    AVAILABILITY OF RECYCLABLE STYROFOAM

    According to epsindustry.org “EPS takes up less than 1% of the total municipal solid waste stream by weight and volume.”

    The polystyrene industry claims a recycling rate of about 12 percent, according to the Alliance for Foam Packaging Recycling, but that includes scraps from EPS manufacturing, which are immediately reused. 

     ***Only 2% percent of a foam package (ie. Styrofoam) is polystyrene. The rest is air.***

    The EPS Industry Alliance’s website clearly states the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers “does not accept meat trays, cups, egg cartons or other disposable food service items for recycling.”

    If the Authority were to accept Styrofoam for recycling, all material coming in would need to be separated.  The only Styrofoam that recycling markets would accept is clean white packaging. Colored foam, packing peanuts, food trays/containers and cups would not be accepted for recycling. 

    ISSUES WITH STYROFOAM RECYCLING

    • Obtaining the volume of appropriate/clean material with no contamination
    • More and more businesses are getting away from Styrofoam and using other materials
    • Separation and sorting of material
    • Having a place to store and keep until ready to densify
    • Transportation – very light, unstable and expensive to haul
    • Markets are very low and typically not economic to recycle
    • Identification of Styrofoam is difficult as starch-based alternatives look and feel very similar to Styrofoam.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: 

    Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State. The New York State Rechargeable Battery Law requires battery collection by both local retailers and direct sellers of rechargeable batteries. Under this law, no person shall knowingly dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste at any time in the State. Rechargeable batteries contained in electronic products must be removed prior to disposal of such products.

    Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when not managed correctly. Rechargeable batteries covered by this law include batteries for lap tops, cameras, cell phones, and rechargeable alkaline batteries.

    If a person should dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste, they shall face fines. Any retailer who violates the law shall be liable for a civil penalty.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR PROPER RECYCLING & DISPOSAL:

    Rechargeable batteries include lithium ion, lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, & lithium ion polymer batteries.

    These types of rechargeable can be found in household items such as electronic devices, medical devices, remote control toys, power tools, vacuums, chain saws, lawn mowers & more.

    ALL types of lithium batteries (single use and rechargeable) require special disposal and should be brought to the Authority or one of the locations below.

    Here is a list of locations in which you can drop-off your rechargeable batteries at no cost:

    • Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority Utica & Rome EcoDrops (year-round at no charge)

Since mercury has been phased out of battery production, single-use alkaline battery disposal has become simpler and safer and such items should be placed with your trash. Examples of non-rechargeable batteries include; flashlight batteries, button batteries, remote control batteries - or any battery that can not be recharged.

  205. Medications

    Improperly disposed pharmaceuticals and medications have been entering our water supplies from a variety of sources, including the flushing of unused medications into sewer systems. Nationwide studies have found low levels of medications such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids in 80% of the rivers and streams tested.

    Improperly disposed pharmaceuticals and medications have been entering our water supplies from a variety of sources, including the flushing of unused medications into sewer systems. Nationwide studies have found low levels of medications such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids in 80% of the rivers and streams tested. Pharmaceuticals that are improperly disposed include chemicals such as over the counter medicines, cosmetics and other personal care products, as well as antibiotics and growth hormones used with livestock.

    Do not dispose of your unwanted drugs by flushing them down the drain or toilet. You should dispose of your old drugs by placing them in your household trash by doing the following:

    • To avoid accidental or intentional misuse of drugs, treat medication (liquids and pills) by adding water, salt, ashes, dirt, cat litter, coffee grounds, or another undesirable substance.
    • Place unwanted pharmaceuticals in a sealed bag or box and seal the container with strong tape.
    • Dispose of drugs in your trash as close to your trash collection day as possible.
    • Do not conceal discarded drugs in food to prevent consumption by pets or wildlife.
    • Place household sharps like needles and lancets in a puncture proof container such as a coffee can or laundry detergent bottle. The container should be sealed with tape and labeled as "sharps" and placed in the trash for disposal and not recycling,
    • Medications with needles attached may also be disposed of at household sharps community collection programs at hospitals and nursing homes in Oneida and Herkimer Counties.

    You may also click here for a list of locations that accept pharmaceuticals for safe disposal.

    Styrofoam, disposable foam beverage cups, foam carry-out containers, foam egg cartons and packaging material/shipping peanuts are not recyclable through our program. Please place in your trash for disposal. Do not place in your recycling container.

    Consider reusing before disposal.

    WHAT IS STYROFOAM?

    The term “Styrofoam” is actually a Dow Chemical Co. trademarked form of polystyrene foam insulation.

    Also known as Expanded Polystrene (EPS) foam, Styrofoam is basically one form of polystyrene plastic. In turn, polystyrene plastic is usually coded as #6 plastic.

    The properties of Styrofoam that make it a useful material – light weight, low cost, durable – make it hard to recycle.

    Given the light weight of Styrofoam, the cost of transporting Styrofoam to a recycling plant (given the relatively large volume of Styrofoam per unit of weight) makes it often cost prohibitive to send Styrofoam for recycling.

    Styrofoam used in food packaging is usually contaminated and would require cleaning before they can be processed for recycling. This adds further cost to the process of recycling Styrofoam, making it economically less viable.

    AVAILABILITY OF RECYCLABLE STYROFOAM

    According to epsindustry.org “EPS takes up less than 1% of the total municipal solid waste stream by weight and volume.”

    The polystyrene industry claims a recycling rate of about 12 percent, according to the Alliance for Foam Packaging Recycling, but that includes scraps from EPS manufacturing, which are immediately reused. 

     ***Only 2% percent of a foam package (ie. Styrofoam) is polystyrene. The rest is air.***

    The EPS Industry Alliance’s website clearly states the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers “does not accept meat trays, cups, egg cartons or other disposable food service items for recycling.”

    If the Authority were to accept Styrofoam for recycling, all material coming in would need to be separated.  The only Styrofoam that recycling markets would accept is clean white packaging. Colored foam, packing peanuts, food trays/containers and cups would not be accepted for recycling. 

    ISSUES WITH STYROFOAM RECYCLING

    • Obtaining the volume of appropriate/clean material with no contamination
    • More and more businesses are getting away from Styrofoam and using other materials
    • Separation and sorting of material
    • Having a place to store and keep until ready to densify
    • Transportation – very light, unstable and expensive to haul
    • Markets are very low and typically not economic to recycle
    • Identification of Styrofoam is difficult as starch-based alternatives look and feel very similar to Styrofoam.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: 

    Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State. The New York State Rechargeable Battery Law requires battery collection by both local retailers and direct sellers of rechargeable batteries. Under this law, no person shall knowingly dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste at any time in the State. Rechargeable batteries contained in electronic products must be removed prior to disposal of such products.

    Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when not managed correctly. Rechargeable batteries covered by this law include batteries for lap tops, cameras, cell phones, and rechargeable alkaline batteries.

    If a person should dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste, they shall face fines. Any retailer who violates the law shall be liable for a civil penalty.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR PROPER RECYCLING & DISPOSAL:

    Rechargeable batteries include lithium ion, lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, & lithium ion polymer batteries.

    These types of rechargeable can be found in household items such as electronic devices, medical devices, remote control toys, power tools, vacuums, chain saws, lawn mowers & more.

    ALL types of lithium batteries (single use and rechargeable) require special disposal and should be brought to the Authority or one of the locations below.

    Here is a list of locations in which you can drop-off your rechargeable batteries at no cost:

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: 

    Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State. The New York State Rechargeable Battery Law requires battery collection by both local retailers and direct sellers of rechargeable batteries. Under this law, no person shall knowingly dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste at any time in the State. Rechargeable batteries contained in electronic products must be removed prior to disposal of such products.

    Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when not managed correctly. Rechargeable batteries covered by this law include batteries for lap tops, cameras, cell phones, and rechargeable alkaline batteries.

    If a person should dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste, they shall face fines. Any retailer who violates the law shall be liable for a civil penalty.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR PROPER RECYCLING & DISPOSAL:

    Rechargeable batteries include lithium ion, lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, & lithium ion polymer batteries.

    These types of rechargeable can be found in household items such as electronic devices, medical devices, remote control toys, power tools, vacuums, chain saws, lawn mowers & more.

    ALL types of lithium batteries (single use and rechargeable) require special disposal and should be brought to the Authority or one of the locations below.

    Here is a list of locations in which you can drop-off your rechargeable batteries at no cost:

    • Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority Utica & Rome EcoDrops (year-round at no charge)
    • Best Buy - 4725 Commercial Drive, New Hartford
    • Home Depot - 545 French Road, New Hartford

    ALKALINE & OTHER NON-RECHARGABLE BATTERIES:

    Household non-rechargeable alkaline, and carbon zinc batteries should be placed in your trash for disposal. Previously, alkaline battery disposal posed environmental threat because of the mercury content. Since mercury has been phased out of battery production, single-use alkaline battery disposal has become simpler and safer and such items should be placed with your trash. Examples of non-rechargeable batteries include; flashlight batteries, button batteries, remote control batteries - or any battery that can not be recharged.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: 

    Under the "New York State Rechargeable Battery Law" signed by the governor in December 2010, it is now illegal to toss rechargeable batteries in the trash in New York State. The New York State Rechargeable Battery Law requires battery collection by both local retailers and direct sellers of rechargeable batteries. Under this law, no person shall knowingly dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste at any time in the State. Rechargeable batteries contained in electronic products must be removed prior to disposal of such products.

    Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when not managed correctly. Rechargeable batteries covered by this law include batteries for lap tops, cameras, cell phones, and rechargeable alkaline batteries.

    If a person should dispose of rechargeable batteries as solid waste, they shall face fines. Any retailer who violates the law shall be liable for a civil penalty.

    RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR PROPER RECYCLING & DISPOSAL:

    Rechargeable batteries include lithium ion, lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, & lithium ion polymer batteries.

    These types of rechargeable can be found in household items such as electronic devices, medical devices, remote control toys, power tools, vacuums, chain saws, lawn mowers & more.

    ALL types of lithium batteries (single use and rechargeable) require special disposal and should be brought to the Authority or one of the locations below.

    Here is a list of locations in which you can drop-off your rechargeable batteries at no cost:

    • Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority Utica & Rome EcoDrops (year-round at no charge)
    • Best Buy - 4725 Commercial Drive, New Hartford

    • Verizon Wireless - 8500 Seneca Turnpike, New Hartford

    ALKALINE & OTHER NON-RECHARGABLE BATTERIES:

    Household non-rechargeable alkaline, and carbon zinc batteries should be placed in your trash for disposal. Previously, alkaline battery disposal posed environmental threat because of the mercury content. Since mercury has been phased out of battery production, single-use alkaline battery disposal has become simpler and safer and such items should be placed with your trash. Examples of non-rechargeable batteries include; flashlight batteries, button batteries, remote control batteries - or any battery that can not be recharged.
