Wayne County Recycling Policies

---

Wayne County passed a Solid Waste Management Law which makes recycling mandatory for all residences, institutions, industries, commercial locations, and public areas, as required by New York State Law.  Effective January 1, 2011, the curbside collection program operated by the Western Finger Lakes Authority was discontinued.  In accordance with the Wayne County law passed September 28, 2010 (See the link below.), private trash haulers must provide recycling collection to their customers to the same extent they provide trash collection.

Copy of the law adopted September 28, 2010
