Did You Know….?

• Motor Oil – New York State requires service stations and automotive retailers to accept used motor oil up to 5 gallons. There may be a minimal charge for the disposal of antifreeze, if the garage has the capability of accepting it.

• Automotive Batteries – May be taken to any Columbia County Solid Waste Station free of charge.

• Alkaline Batteries – AAA, AA, C, D 9 Volt & lantern batteries are regular household trash. Currently Columbia County does not have a program in place to accept these items, but is looking for a market to properly dispose of these items.

• Rechargeable Nickel Cadmium Batteries – Call 1-800-Battery for most convenient disposal options.

• Wal-Mart and Staples participate in recycling collection programs in Columbia County.

• Electronics - All electronics are accepted at the Greenport Transfer Station only -free of charge.
