School Districts

Tompkins County Solid Waste encourages all school districts within Tompkins County to create a comprehensive waste reduction and recycling program. In order to facilitate this process, we offer waste assessment for all interested schools. Through the process of a waste assessment, a school provides TCSWMD with background information and a walk through of the facility is performed. After this data is collected, a list of recommendations that focus on waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and green purchasing is generated for the facility. To learn more about waste assessments, please contact Kat McCarthy at 273-6632.
