Dear Valued Resident:

August 4th, 2015

Dear Valued Resident:

This letter is concerning the garbage cans for the Monday morning pick up. We are asking that you keep employees in mind by not filling your garbage cans with over 50 pounds (per OSHA standards) of garbage. There are over 400 cans; over 2 tons of garbage, picked by hand each week. There are options that you can take to prevent the overweight issue. If you have more garbage than two cans over 50 pound, you can; 1. Sign up for an additional service giving you two additional cans at the curb each week, or 2. You may purchase additional tags at the village office for $3.50 each, which will allow you to set out one more can or bags to make up to that amount.

There are also cans out there that are made for a truck to lift that do not have handles to lift from. Some tops are hard to work with, as they do not come off, causing them to slam down, or pinching hands while dumping.

We are asking that you replace these cans with ones that are requested by our village codes. By doing this, we could possibly prevent a comp claim, that could become very costly to all residents.

From our village code:

APPROVED CONTAINER – Includes any cylindrical. light-gauge steel, plastic, reinforced paper or galvanized receptacle closed at one end and open at the other, furnished with a top or lid, with two handles and of not more than 32 gallons’ capacity and not weighting more than 50 pounds when full.

We appreciate your assistance in helping us keep safety first, and abiding by our code.

Best Regards,

Scot D. Coombs

  • Message from the Mayor


      Welcome to the Village of Newark Valley!

    We hope you find what you are searching for in this electronic view of our rural unique Village. Our one thousand fifty residents offer a sincere welcome to our friends and to those who are not familiar with the areas' rolling hills, vistas and other scenic attributes of New York's Southern Tier.

    We are creating these digital pages of information so our citizens may seek information such as, Village Codes, Municipal Meeting days/dates and time; ask questions of your Municipal leaders and Staff via the e-mail format or just tell us "What is on your mind". Information must be easy to retrieve and we believe this user friendly format will be useful to everyone.

    Our five members Board of Trustees welcome your insight and participation with the opportunities and obstacles in operating this community in the most fiscally responsible manner. We wish to improve infrastructure, tax base and attractions in our Village. With your comments and help - that will happen.

    MayorBest Regards
    James P. Tornatore
    Mayor
