Officials in Monroe County are looking for help when it comes to its updated solid waste management plan.
The New York state Department of Environmental Conservation requires updates to plans every 10 years.
Officials say those plans must manage materials in an environmentally responsible way and reduce the amount of waste that’s sent out to be disposed.
“Building on decades of progress, Monroe County is developing its next-generation Local Solid Waste Management Plan to guide how materials are managed over the next ten years,” Monroe County Executive Adam Bello said in a statement. “I encourage everyone to get involved in this important process and share feedback on how we can divert and reduce waste.”
You can find a link to the survey on the county’s website.
The county is also encouraging the public to register to attend one of the upcoming meetings and share feedback for the next plan:
• July 27, virtual, noon-1 p.m., you can register here.
• Aug. 3, MCC Brighton Campus, R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center, 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m., you can
register here.
