Sullivan Solid Waste Uses County Convenience Stations
Sullivan residents should check county solid-waste station rules before hauling bulky waste, recyclables, or household trash.

Sullivan County’s Department of Solid Waste & Recycling runs the Monticello Transfer Station and Recycling Center plus five residential drop-off stations around the county. The county does not pick up garbage from residents or businesses.
For a household load, open the county facilities page and choose a location before loading. Then read the current Fees and Materials Accepted sheet for the exact material, charge, and load rule. Disposal fees apply to solid waste, while most recyclables have no fee. Hours and accepted items can differ by facility.
The route changes for a commercial load or hauler. Commercial haulers do not have access to the five residential stations and are accepted at Monticello. If you need pickup at a home or business, this county drop-off system is not a pickup service.
Write down the facility, open day, material category, fee, and permit or load rule. Keep that list with the trip plan so a mixed load does not end at the wrong station.
