Schenectady County keeps getting greener

Schenectady County has announced that it has secured $160,000 in State funding allocated through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Municipal Waste Reduction and Recycling Program to fund recycling program education and development. “Schenectady County keeps getting greener,” said Susan E. Savage, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature. “This grant will help Schenectady County inform our residents about the importance of recycling and is another pro-active step Schenectady County is taking to find ways to reduce our carbon footprint and protect our environment.”

This continues to build upon the seven point energy plan that the Schenectady County Legislature passed in March 2008 aimed at making Schenectady County a leader in energy conservation and efficiency standards. Click here for more information.
