Northern New York is home to some of the most pristine and wonderful natural wonders in the world like the Tug Hill, Thousand Islands and Adirondacks. Every citizen of the region disposes of waste, and North Country Recycles wants to minimize the negative impact that our waste disposal habits have on our environment. We provide you with advice on incorporating environmentally-sound practices into
your daily life; tips on recycling in the North Country; information on reducing waste in your household and improving efficiency; facts on reusing materials; best practices occurring in your own back yard; links to local, state and federal environmental resources, among others. North Country Recycles is brought to you by the Development Authority of the North Country in cooperation with its partners-Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence Counties, the City of Watertown, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The Authority is a New York State Public Benefit Corporation that owns and operates the tri-county, regional Solid Waste Management Facility in Rodman, NY. It is the Authority’s mission to be environmental stewards and through North Country Recycles hopes to educate and enact people of the North Country to adopt environmentally-sound practices into their own homes and lifestyles to maintain our natural wonders for future generations.
