Rolling Refuse Container Program FAQ
What is a rolling refuse container?
It is a green 96 gallon roll out refuse container with a lid, one piece handle, wheels and a 10 year manufacturers’ warranty. Each container will be numbered and assigned to your address.
Why is the Village requiring rolling refuse containers?
Employee health, safety and efficiency are a major consideration. Many residents have wanted to use the larger rolling containers to eliminate multiple trips to the curb but because of their size and weight, they cannot be safely lifted by employees. New equipment is now in place to lift and dump Village issued containers. These easy to roll containers can hold more than the 3 cans previously allowed now, are less likely to blow around in the wind and provide a uniform and neat street appearance.
Do I have to buy a rolling refuse container?
Yes, the village of Spencerport instituted a local law regulating the storage and removal of solid waste which requires all homeowners to use the 96 gallon rolling refuse container that is sold by the village, regardless of the amount of trash generated.
