Yard Waste Regulations

The Town of Amherst Highway Department – Refuse Office reminds residents that any yard waste that does not meet standards cannot be collected by Modern Disposal Services, the town’s waste management contractor. The Refuse Office is reminding residents to remove plastic packaging or containers that come with plants, flowers, mulch, etc. from yard waste. Additionally, yard waste placed in plastic trash bags will not be collected. Paper yard waste bags will be accepted. The Amherst Highway Department’s brush pickup crews will be out picking up large brush piles by appointment; please call (716) 631-7117 to schedule your address for service. Please have brush, logs and stumps out for pickup before you call. The Town Highway will only collect large unmanageable piles of logs, brush (cut to less than 8 feet in length), and tree stumps.
