How days are assigned
How Tonawanda assigns collection days.
Tonawanda publishes its collection routes as a map (Town of Tonawanda): each route area carries a fixed weekday for trash and recycling; the lookup reads that area for your address.
Trash is collected weekly and recycling biweekly. Recycling goes out every other week on the trash weekday; the Town's Blue and Yellow calendars say which week is yours. The Village of Kenmore lies inside the Town but runs its own collection and is not on these routes. This guide covers the Town of Tonawanda; the City of Tonawanda is a separate municipality and is not on the Town's routes.
We last checked Tonawanda on October 6, 2026: 8 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Tonawanda's pickup days.
