MASSENA -- Village residents can now use 34-gallon pails to put their garbage out for collection.
The village board on Tuesday voted to increase the maximum size from 32 gallons. It followed a public hearing that drew no comments.
"This is simply to accommodate, there's a new variation of the medium size containers available at the big box stores that are 34 gallons instead of 32," Deputy Mayor Matt Lebire said. "We want to make sure we're accommodating as much as possible in the smaller and midrange sizes."
He said anything larger is too "bulky and hard to handle" when DPW crews come around for trash collection.
The new regulation says people can put up to five 34-gallon containers out per garbage collection day. Each container cannot weigh more than 40 pounds, the law says.
