WYOMING COUNTY/WASTE MANAGEMENT RECYCLING GUIDE
Waste reduction is something that every county resident and business should be doing to help protect our
natural environment, and save resources and money. You can help by minimizing purchases, reusing the
same item, and then recycling.
Every residence receiving waste collection service through the County/Waste Management Program is
encouraged to recycle as much material as possible. Please make sure your recycling bin or container is
visible to the Waste Management collectors.
CALL WASTE MANAGEMENT WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR SERVICE AT
1-800-333-6590, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For more information about waste reduction and recycling contact GLOW Region Solid Waste (Genesee,
