LOCKPORT—Niagara County is rolling out a new voucher system for household hazardous waste collection, Infrastructure and Facilities Committee Chairman John Syracuse, R-Newfane, and Refuse District Committee Chairman Mike Hill, R-Middleport, announced.
The program officially begins Monday and runs through Aug. 31.
The program—offered countywide—will utilize an online voucher program that allows residents to schedule an appointment to drop off up to 50 pounds of household hazardous waste materials at a collection site in the City of Tonawanda. Overages may be turned in, but at a cost of $.75 per pound.
“Keeping our homes safe—particularly for our youngest residents—is a priority for this county government,” Syracuse said announcing the program’s roll-out. “This program provides a service to our residents that is convenient and protects our environment.”
To utilize the program, residents may obtain a voucher by visiting www.rethinkyourwaste.com to apply for a voucher and schedule an appointment online. Residents will then receive a voucher by email entitling them to turn in up to 50 pounds of household hazardous wastes for free.
