The Village of West Haverstraw will begin using new garbage and recycling pails later this month as part of an updated collection program.

Starting Tuesday, February 17, village crews will distribute the new bins to residents’ homes. Collection using the new pails will officially begin on Monday, February 23, 2026, with the village’s new sidearm garbage truck.

Officials said residents will receive a pamphlet explaining how to properly use the new bins. The same information will also be attached directly to the trash containers.

Village officials are asking residents to review the guidelines and begin using the new pails once the updated collection system takes effect.
