Highway

Town residents are responsible to contract their own weekly garbage collection. There are two companies

 that have licenses to pick up garbage in the Town of Hamburg:

• Waste Management: 716-496-5000
• Modern Disposal: 800-330-7107

Brush & Large Trash Pickup

The Town of Hamburg Highway Department offers a number of services to help residents dispose of their brush and rubbish in a timely and environmentally conscious manner. The department normally has two crews move through the town from March through October collecting residential brush. These crews also pick up bagged leaves during the fall. In addition, town crews conduct a special tree Christmas tree pickup in January.

Please note: These Brush and Rubbish Pickups are not available to residents of the Villages of Hamburg and Blasdell.

Additional Responsibilities

The Town of Hamburg Highway Department performs numerous secondary tasks, in addition to the primary responsibilities of Road Maintenance, Snow Removal, Drainage, and Brush/Rubbish Pickup.

The department is responsible for maintenance of right-of-ways for safety and beautification purposes. This includes cutting brush and removal of trees where necessary.

The department works with the Town Board to alleviate off road, backyard, and side yard problems when many residents are involved. We also regularly clean drop inlets as part of our drainage system maintenance.

The department responds to notices of excavation given by the Underground Facilities Protective Organization, protecting underground lines from damage.

The department maintains its own fleet of over 50 vehicles and a large tool inventory. The department's own mechanic shop conducts its own state vehicle inspections and 90% of its own vehicle repairs. Small engine repair, carpentry, and welding work is also completed by the department.
