Recycling Facts
Recycling is required by Onondaga County’s Source Separation Law. To stay in compliance and reduce unwanted fines for sending contaminated material to the sorting facility, ensure your waste infrastructure is well-labeled and your employees understand recycling rules.
Visit the “How Do I Get Rid Of…?” page to search the database and make sure that you’re disposing of waste properly.
Set up your workplace recycling program
Your individual program will be affected by your type of facility, office layout and corporate culture. There are various recycling models to choose from, and you might even use different models in different work areas.
Blue Ribbon Recycler Program
The distinction of Blue Ribbon Recycler is awarded to local businesses that demonstrate leadership in recycling and waste reduction. More than 65 local businesses have achieved this honor!
The program is good for the environment and can be good for your bottom line. Often, reducing waste saves you money by decreasing the size of your trash container or how often trash is collected.

- High-profile attention in OCRRA’s quarterly printed newsletter that reaches 60,000 residents
