Otsego County Recycling Program
Present System: 1997-2000
The present system includes the use of a contractor to provide a roll-off truck or tractor with roll-off trailer to haul 30 and 40 cubic yard roll-off containers to move recycling containers from various locations within the County to a MRF located close to the County. The County owns or rents the roll-off containers and the County or local towns provide personnel to oversee the drop-off sites. Presently, materials are taken to either the Oneida-Herkimer Authority in Utica for processing or to the MOSA recycling transfer building in Howes Cave for further transport to a MRF in Hudson, Albany or Syracuse. Cardboard is collected separately only at the Northern and Oneonta drop-off sites. All cardboard is sold loose to a local Oneonta dealer.
The following is a list of the sites describing their locations and characteristics:
- NTS - Northern Transfer Station
