Allegany County would like to thank all County
residents for the continued success of the County Recycling Program. In 2024,
Allegany County recycled a combined total of 1,315 tons of material. This
included 436 tons of cardboard, 402 tons of metal items, 111 tons of used
tires, 102 tons of glass containers, 98 tons of paper, 81 tons of plastic
containers, 46 tons of clothing, and 39 tons of electronics. These figures
represent an increase of 24 percent over the past 5 years. This would not be
possible without the dedication of Allegany County residents and the employees
of our Solid Waste Department. As we progress into 2025, we would like to ask
all residents to continue being vigilant in their recycling efforts. Not only does the County receive revenue on
this recycling, which helps to reduce solid waste collection and disposal
costs, but we also save on tipping fees when we do not put material in the
landfill. We would also like to remind all residents that there is no charge
for residential/household recycling at any County-owned and operated recycling
centers, formerly known as transfer stations. These recycling centers are
located in Caneadea, Canaseraga, Friendship, Belmont, Almond, Bolivar and
Wellsville. More information on recycling, as well as complete addresses of the
recycling centers, are available on the Allegany County website, www.alleganyco.gov, or by scanning the QR code below. You
can also call Tim Palmiter, Allegany County Recycling Coordinator, at
585-268-7282 or stop in at any of the recycling centers. Again, a big thank you
goes out to all County residents; the success of the recycling program would
not be possible without you.
