Yates County Recycling Materials
Yates 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. Trash haulers are responsible for collecting recycling materials as well as trash. Recycling materials must be kept separate from the trash and may not be mixed together once they have been separated. The list of materials is mandated by the Yates County Law. See the list of materials collected in Yates County here.
