Promoting a Toxic Free Future in New York State
Important Notice Regarding the Fall 2011 Collection
The CleanSweepNY waste hauling contract will go out to bid so there will be no
fall 2011 chemical collection program. Once a Request for Proposal (RFP) is
finalized by NYSDEC, it will be posted on the NYS Contract Reporter.
It is our goal that a contract will be in place for a spring 2012 program which will target the following NYSDEC Region 8 counties: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates Counties.
To date, over 1,059,344 pounds of
pesticides and other chemical
wastes from schools and other
entities have been collected and
removed from New York State for
disposal.
This total includes the collection of over 715 pounds of elemental mercury collected from 379 participating schools. We look forward to providing pesticide disposal services and school chemical disposal services to farmers, nurseries, greenhouses, certified pesticide applicators, landscapers, and schools in New York State to promote a Toxic Free Future for all New Yorkers. |
