Tractor tires = $10 each

The appropriate fees are to be prepaid to the Town Clerk. A receipt will be issued for presentation to the Transfer Station attendant.

ITEMS CONTAINING

REFRIGERANT/COOLANT

Disposal of an item with refrigerant/coolant requires payment of an additional $10 fee per unit. This fee is to be prepaid to the Town Clerk. A sticker will be issued and is to be applied to the unit prior to disposal.

Please Use a Tarp

All open vehicles entering the Transfer Station must have a tarp covering the materials. Tarping prevents trash or recyclables from becoming litter on our roads. It also prevents customers from being fined upt to $1,000 by the NYS DEC. Untarped vehicles may be refused access to the Transfer Station.

Household Batteries

CFL bulbs (compact fluorescent bulbs)

With the sale of energy saving bulbs on the rise, it is important to know how to get rid of these bulbs when they are spent as they contain small amounts of mercury, a potent heavy metal pollutant. All of the ACE and True Value Hardware stores in Onondaga County partner with OCRRA and accept fluorescent bulbs from residents. Lowe's and Home Depot also accept CFLs.

Returnable Bottles and Cans

The redeemable bottles and cans

OPEN BURNING REGULATIONS

In towns with a total population less than 20,000, (Spafford population is 1,686) you may burn tree limbs with attached leaves. The limbs must be less than 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length (also referred to as brush). However, this is not allowed from March 16 through May 14 due to the increased risk of wildfires.
