How to Order Binghamton City Blue Trash Bags on Amazon

There’s a new, easier way for Binghamton residents to obtain the city’s blue trash bags. It’s about ordering online.

Under a pilot program detailed by the agency on Tuesday, residents can order 20 large city trash bags through Amazon for $33.60, at a cost of $1.68 per bag.

Binghamton Mayor Jared M. Craham called the initiative “a small but meaningful way to improve the city’s services for residents, especially those who have difficulty leaving their homes.”

Blue bags are still available at local grocery stores, pharmacies and Binghamton City Hall. A bundle of 5 large bags is $6.95, or $1.39 each.
