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.

Recycling collection is occasionally delayed because of weather-related events. When Wayne
County declares a "Travel Advisory" or weather-related state of emergency the recycling trucks
will not complete their routes. Recycling Collection will be delayed to the next day. Announcements
will be on Rochester radio and television stations if the recycling collection is delayed.

• Homes, businesses and other locations not served by the
  Wayne County Curbside Recycling Program are responsible
  for separating recycling materials.

  their commercial customers, including mobile home parks and

  schedule may also be different.Residents who live in parks and complexes should contact their
