The Niagara County Division of Environmental/Solid Waste Management introduces the “Rethink Your Waste” campaign to establish a comprehensive waste management effort throughout Niagara County that will reduce waste and increase recycling. The intent of Rethink Your Waste is to provide residents, businesses, and community decision makers with a guide to develop programs and foster ideas that will target waste reduction and recycling. Many of us in Niagara County have access to curbside recycling, bulky waste (appliance) collection, and yard waste collection programs. Through greater participation and understanding we, as a community, can maximize the use of our current resources and work to develop new programs to recycle more and dispose less.
This site is dedicated to bringing attention to the solid waste management issues and events in our community, and provides tools for residents to increase waste reduction, recycling, composting and material reuse at home, work and school. By strengthening the relationship between solid waste management and the environment, we are ultimately improving the quality of life in Niagara County.
