Refuse Rate Increase for 2025
February 20, 2025
Attention all Residential Refuse users in the Village of Brewster:
On October 20, 2021, at the Village of Brewster Board of Trustees Meeting, the Board approved the Residential Refuse, Bulk, and Recyclable Materials Bid that was provided by Suburban Carting. This new contract period begins on January 1, 2022, and ends on December 31, 2025, with the option to extend for an additional year.
Beginning January 1, 2025, the Village will be increasing the price for the annual and monthly refuse bills to meet the current prices for overhead costs and processing fees that come with the billing. The new rates will be as follows:
2025
Refuse bill paid yearly in March: $500 per unit
Refuse bill paid using the monthly option: $47.35 per unit, per month
Please note that the Village of Brewster requests bids from multiple carting companies and selects the bid that is the most cost-effective choice for the Village residents. When this contract expires at the end of 2025; the Village of Brewster will decide if they would like to continue with Suburban Carting for an additional year or send out a bid for the carting contract and follow the same procedure. The refuse fee pays for the overhead costs and the contractual expenses to continue the service that all residents must use.
If you would like to switch to the monthly billing program, you must contact the Village Clerk at 845-279-3760 or via email
