Village Refuse District Assessment

Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 6 pm

____________________________________________________________________________________

 Hi Neighbors,

 In May of 2024 the Trustees adopted a village-wide refuse district. In December 2024, a two-year contract was awarded by the village board to Seyrek Disposal.

• Trash and recycling will be picked up weekly, on the same day, throughout the entire village.
• Residents will be provided with a 96-gallon refuse tote and a 64-gallon recycling tote. These totes are on wheels and have lids. A larger recycling tote has an up-charge of $5 per month.
• Residents wishing to have additional totes or additional services must contact Seyrek directly. (585) 720-0978.
• A flat rate of $349.14 (called an assessment) is added to the annual tax bill for each household. Prices can vary across municipalities as each may have different economies of scale.

Today, during leaf pick-up, one of our crew members was involved in a hit-and-run incident. Thankfully, they are safe, but they are undergoing medical evaluation.

We urge all drivers to exercise extreme caution whenever you see our staff in high-visibility clothing and flashing lights -- indicating a work zone on the road. Your vigilance ensures every worker and driver gets home safely each day.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A big thank you to Scout Troops 11 and 167 and Pack 291 for planting 500 bulbs this past Saturday as part of our Village In Bloom program. Look for the purple, white, and lavender allium bulbs to bloom along the Washington Road median this spring. Well done, everyone!

With leaves, brush and yard waste in abundance,fall is the right time of the year to talk about the management of this category of organics.

Monroe County, NY - Organics Recycling, Food Scraps and Composting

In Monroe County, yard waste is prohibited from being disposed in a landfill.     

Sticks, branches, brush, grass and leaves take up valuable landfill space. Additionally, this is not the best, highest use of these materials – leaves and grass can be composted and wood debris can be chipped and used for mulch.

Helpful fall hints:

• Skip raking and bagging and chop or mow-mulch leaves with your mower and leave them on the lawn. When these little pieces of leaves decompose, they break down into natural mulch, which suppresses weeds and provides nutrients.
• Leaves also are the foundation of any compost pile – mix leaves with “green” materials, such as grass clippings, place in a pile, and keep moist – and you’ll have ready-made compost for gardening in the Spring. 
• If you are looking to add compost to gardens or lawns in the fall, don’t forget – compost made from Monroe County leaves is available to Monroe County residents twice a week, every week - FREE - at the Monroe County / WM ecopark. Bring your own container and a shovel!

Pursuant to Section 5-508 of the Village Law, the Village of Pittsford 2024-2025 budget is scheduled for adoption on April 30th, 2024, in addition to the Multi-Year Capital & Financial Plan. Click for more information.  

What is a refuse district?

A Refuse District is a designated area where a single refuse collector services all households in the district.

On July 11, 2023, The Board of Trustees enacted a 6-month moratorium on short-term rentals (STRs) in the Village of Pittsford. It goes into effect immediately. Existing STRs are not affected by this moratorium.

The purpose of the moratorium is to press a “pause button” on any new STRs to allow an assessment of the impact, if any, on the village environment and its residents. A Short-term Rental Citizen Advisory Committee has been established and will be working during this time to evaluate the impact of STRs on the community and make recommendations to the Trustees regarding possible legislation, or not.

Any property owners establishing an STR during this time will violate the moratorium code and be subject to fines.

For more information and to review the moratorium law go to:

The Village of Pittsford welcomes two new village trustees, Lisa Cove, and David Marshall.
