6. How do I put my trash/recyclables for disposals?

To have your trash and recycling picked up, wheel the provided garbage carts to the end of your driveway and turn them so that the handle is facing your house.  Syracuse Hauler's equipment requires spacing between the two carts to allow the arm to grab them.  The containers should closed all the way to ensure all the contents make it in to the truck.  If you have additional trash that doesn't fit in the containers, you can contact Syracuse Haulers at (315) 426-6771 to arrange for additional pickup for a fee.

7. How do I put out my yard waste for disposal?

ALL YARD WASTE MUST BE CONTAINED AND/OR BUNDLED. LOOSE PILES OF YARD WASTE WILL NOT BE PICKED UP. There is no limit on the amount of brush you may put out. If you are planning on having a lot to dispose of on a pick-up day please give Syracuse Haulers a ‘heads up’. The weight limit for brush/yard waste is 50 pounds per container. Please do not use plastic bags to hold your yard waste. Use either the biodegradable paper bags and/or rigid containers (even an old trash can is acceptable. Make sure the lid is off so that the hauler knows it is brush and not trash). Sticks/branches must either be in a rigid container or bundled with string or hemp twine. No wire please. In addition, any sticks/branches must not exceed five (5) feet in length or three (3) inches in diameter. Anything bigger requires a fee for pick-up. In this situation, please contact Syracuse Haulers to find out the charge and to arrange a pick-up date. Another option for disposing of your branches and trunk pieces is to take them to the Town of Manlius Highway Department where, from 6:30am to 2:30pm, Monday through Friday. There is an area available to dump these items at no charge. Please contact the Town of Manlius Highway Department at 315-656-3090 for more information (absolutely no landscapers are allowed to dump at the Town of Manlius Highway Garage.)

8. By what time of day am I required to have my trash/brush out for collection?

Your trash/recyclables and/or brush must be out by 6 am on your collection day, or the night before. Syracuse Haulers can come anywhere from 6:00am to 5:00 pm on the day of your pick-up. There may be two different trucks that pick up the trash and recyclables (one for trash and perhaps a different truck for recyclables). Please remember that if your trash and/or yard waste is put out after the hauler has been through your area you will have to wait for your next pick-up day. It is very important to have your trash and yard waste out no later than 6 am of your pick-up day.
