Overview

Patterson is comprised of two garbage districts. District 1 includes most the Putnam Lake area, and is serviced by Suburban Carting Company. District 2 includes all parts of the town outside of the Putnam Lake area. Both Garbage Districts are funded through a separate line item in your property tax bill.

Please refer to the Recycling page for details of the Single Stream program.

New York State law prohibits the disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) with household garbage due to the toxic materials used in their components. E-waste must be brought to the Recycling Center. Please refer to the Recycling page for detailed information.

Putnam County sponsors two annual hazardous waste pickups which must be used for the disposal of hazardous wastes. 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.

• A district-wide bulk pickup is done annually in late October.
• Some restrictions will apply, and permits will be required for certain items.
