How disposal works in New York
In New York, disposal is run by counties in some places and towns in others. Broome, Steuben and Clinton counties run landfills, and Sullivan, Orange, Oswego, Fulton, Madison and Allegany counties run networks of transfer stations; around Syracuse and Utica, a regional authority (OCRRA, and the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority) runs the drop-off; around Albany and on Long Island, the town runs the station: Colonie, Clifton Park, Guilderland and Brookhaven. In Rockland County, a county authority, Rockland Green, runs the Clarkstown station.
Almost everywhere, it's for residents: bring a driver's license or a town sticker. Prices vary widely: Clifton Park sells a $110 yearly punch-card permit, Brookhaven charges $6 a carload, Broome County $55 a ton, and Utica's EcoDrop $2 a bag, while Oswego County's sticker is $200 a year. New York City runs a different system, built around curbside collection by the Department of Sanitation, so our New York pages cover the rest of the state.
