A disgraced garbage company is being allowed to continue running Westchester County's recycling operation, possibly for another 10 months, The Journal News has learned.

City Carting of Westchester had its license stripped earlier this year over a manager's fraudulent spending and was given 90 days to wrap up its work at the county's Material Recovery Facility in Yonkers and transfer stations in White Plains, Cortlandt and Mount Vernon.

That was extended 30 days until this week. County spokeswoman Catherine Cioffi said on Wednesday that the company's permit has been extended until July 11 by the executive director of the Westchester Solid Waste Commission.

City Carting: Manager accused of covering up money spent at strip clubs

But a "Postponement of Layoff" memo sent to employees Tuesday by a City Carting manager announced that the company would be allowed to continue operating until at least March 1, 2023.

Cioffi did not respond to a follow-up email about the company's memo and whether the 10 months is consistent with the county's timeframe for finding a replacement.

She said in the earlier email that the county was now "soliciting best practices" and would then put out a request for proposals to land a new company.

The commission began efforts to strip City Carting of its license last June while an investigation was underway into fraudulent spending by manager Christopher Oxer.

Two weeks later, the company and Oxer were charged by the Westchester District Attorney's Office with filing false statements. They were accused of passing off $135,000 in company credit card spending by Oxer at two Manhattan strip clubs as business expenses for equipment and maintenance.

Those charges are still pending. Oxer this month was further charged in federal court with not including on three years of tax returns $808,000 he spent using the company credit card at the strip clubs and on escorts, vacations, clothes and expenses of a garbage company he runs in New England.

The manager who sent the memo declined to comment. He said he would pass along the message to company officials but none responded. 

City Carting's 5-year contract is set to expire in July 2024. Through March they were paid $49 million by the county and made an additional $17 million selling the collected recyclables, $13 million of which was turned over to the county.
