Refuse and recycling reminders – weight limit and stickers required
When placing refuse and recycling at the curb for weekly collection please remember the following from the Village of Chatham and County Waste agreement: “The refuse must be placed in standard plastic garbage bags having a capacity not to exceed 35 gallons and weighing not more than thirty (30) pounds, and upon which there must be affixed an official Village of Chatham garbage/refuse collection sticker. Contractor shall not remove garbage or trash bags that do not have a Village of Chatham garbage/refuse collection sticker affixed.” Stickers for trash bags may be purchased at Stewarts, Citgo gas station at the traffic light, or at the Village Clerk’s office.
Action Needed From Residents: Lead Water Line Identification
To prepare for future upgrades to our water system and comply with New York State regulations, the Village of Chatham has been tasked with identifying properties that have lead service lines. This information will be shared with New York State to ensure compliance and guide our improvement efforts.
We need your help to determine whether your property has a lead water service line.
Please visit the following link: Lead Service Line Identification Survey. There, you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to perform a simple scratch test to identify your service line material. After completing the test, please fill out the short survey.
If you need assistance or have questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Village Clerk’s Office:

Phone: 518-392-5821 ext. 5922
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work to improve our water infrastructure and services.
Sincerely, John Howe, Mayor Phil Genovese, DPW Working Foreman Desiree Kelleher, Clerk Village of Chatham, NY

Year-round, properly sized/packaged Yard Debris such as downed limbs, brush, and clippings may be disposed of at the DPW garage on Brookside Avenue between 8:00am and 2:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Autumn collection of leaves by the DPW, using vacuum machinery, begins each year in October and continues until December, weatherpermitting. Please remember LEAVES ONLY. Sticks, stones, pet waste, pet litter, and any other debris will damage the machine and/or result in serious injury. Piles containing anything other than leaves will NOT be collected. Bagged leaves will not be collected.
Springtime collection of yard debris by the DPW begins in April. For collection, you may place biodegradable bags for LEAVES ONLY, and properly sized, and bundled sticks and branches at the curb.
Properly sized and/or packaged = Please use biodegradable bags for leaves ONLY. NO sticks, rocks, twigs or anything but leaves in the bags please. Branches should be tied in bundles and should be cut as follows: If they are more than 2″ diameter cut them to no more than 2-feet long. If they are less than 2″ diameter they can be up to 4-feet long.
The collected yard waste does not get chipped by the Village DPW for repurposing in the Village. The pile has gotten out of control in the last year or two. Village residents may bring debris, but please try to keep in mind that the intention is for managing fallen sticks and branches rather than for large quantities of tree trunks and large debris.
