Monroe County Recycling Education Program
This program informs consumers on the wide-variety of paper products that can be recycled at the County’s recycling facility. The program includes
television advertisements and recycling education outreach at local events. The main objective is to decrease paper products of the County’s landfill.
Monroe County’s Recycling Education Program comes at no cost to local property taxpayers. The program is funded entirely by revenue generated from operation of the Monroe County Recycling Center. The Recycling Center processes 52,000 tons of waste per year and generates annual revenue of $250,000. The county estimates that this initiative could help residents recycle a combined 8,000 to 10,000 additional tons of paper each year. Monroe County residents consume an estimated 500 million pounds of paper each year--most of which can be recycled.
The County Recycling Center accepts recyclable products from all households in the City of Rochester and in most households throughout local towns and villages.
