Bulk Dropoff / Pickup (All Districts)

Residents of Districts 1 and 2 can bring bulk dropoff items to the Recycling Center. Permits can be obtained at Town Hall.

The Town and F&H Carting reserve the right to refuse to pick up any hazardous or toxic waste, or items that cannot be identified. Putnam County sponsors two annual hazardous waste pickups which must be used for the disposal of hazardous wastes, cell phones, televisions, and computers. The County will publicize the dates of the collections in the local newspapers and on the Putnam County website. These dates will also be posted on the announcements page of the Town of Patterson website. You may also contact the Putnam County Health Dept. at 845-278-6130 for more information.

Bulk items are not to be placed at curbside until a pickup date is arranged.

District 1

F&H Carting (845-279-5353) will schedule a bulk pickup in the fall.

Some restrictions will apply, and permits will be required for certain items.

F&H does not pick up air conditioners, freezers, or refrigerators with freon refrigerant. Garbage District #2 will pickup refrigerants only. Residents must call and schedule an appointment. District 2 can be reached at 845-878-4956. A fee of $75.00 (minimum) will be charged in addition to the permit fee.

Fees vary by item.
