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.
