Garbage
Disposing of your household garbage can be handled one
of two ways - taking your trash to a local transfer station or hiring a
local solid waste hauler.
Otsego County belongs to a three county solid waste
authority known as MOSA - the
Montgomery-Otsego-Schoharie Authority. MOSA operates two solid waste
transfer stations in Otsego County. The largest is located near Oneonta, at
I-88 Exit 13 on Silas Lane and is open Monday-Saturday from 7am - 3pm. Call
(607) 432-9540. A smaller station is located one mile north of Cooperstown
on NYS Rt. 28 and is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8am - 2:30pm.
Call (607) 547-5967.
Additionally, several towns in the county have a
station at which a local trash hauler is set up once or twice a week to
receive bags of garbage for a fee. See the link to "Recycling
Drop-off Centers" for more details about this local garbage service.
Local haulers provide varying levels of solid waste
services. See the link to the current list of
haulers.
