Cattaraugus Refuse and Transfer Rules Need a County Check
Cattaraugus residents should check county refuse and transfer-station rules before hauling bulky waste or recyclables.

Cattaraugus County Public Works has the refuse and transfer-station route. Check it before hauling an awkward load. Bulky items, building waste, electronics, tires, and household trash can follow different rules.
A new owner or seasonal resident should check the county pages before loading the vehicle. That can prevent a wasted drive. It also keeps county waste questions out of the town clerk’s office.
List and sort the materials first. Use the Public Works route to match each item to a transfer station or refuse rule. Write the station and rule beside each item before the trip.
