Garbage & Recycling Information – Village of Chatham

Collection Day:

The Village of Chatham contracts with County Waste for collection of garbage and recyclables every Wednesday morning, beginning at 7:00 AM and typically completing routes by 1:00 PM.

Single-Stream Recycling:

Recycling is free of charge. County Waste uses a single-stream recycling system, meaning all recyclables—paper, glass bottles, plastic items, and cans—can be placed together in the same bin. County Waste provides recycling bins. If you do not have a bin, please contact the Village Clerk to arrange for delivery of a bin to your property.

Set-Out Time:

Place all garbage and recyclables at the curb by 6:00 AM on Wednesdays to ensure pickup.
