City of Utica Residents - The Department of Public Works will be collecting Christmas trees now through February 7th, 2025.

Waste Exchange Program

The Waste Exchange Program establishes an exchange of valuable information between generators and potential users of industrial and commercial wastes, whereby a beneficial use rather than disposal is the end result.

This service identifies both the producers and potential markets for by-products, surpluses, unspent materials and other forms of solid waste that is no longer needed. If on-site recycling is not an option, the next best alternative may be to offer the waste to another company by the Waste Exchange Program. For example: clean five-gallon plastic pails that are a waste for one company may be used as recycling containers for an office complex.
