Attendant: Jesse Keener

    
   The Town of Richford has a unique and cost efficient method of collecting it residents solid waste.              

   At the scheduled times, Residents can take their trash to a waiting garbage truck, parked at the north end of the Highway Garage, have an attendant weight it, pay the per pound fee and then place the garbage in the compactor.
  
   This service is for Town of Richford Residents only and is available on Wednesdays from  4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This method of handling the residents solid waste has worked very well for many years. 
  
   Never attempt to leave trash/solid waste when an attendant is not on duty.   Doing so is considered littering and is controlled legally as such.
  
   Residents do have the option of choosing to have their trash/solid waste picked up by a private hauler, but they are responsible for contracting any private pick-up of solid waste.

   In Tioga County, it is a mandatory to recycle. Click on the link below to the Tioga County Solid Waste Transfer Station for further jnformation on recycling.
 
   Residents can also take large items or quantities, that exceed Richfords limitations, and other disposable items to the Tioga County Transfer Station in Barton or Taylors in Owego.
