QUEENSBURY — Warren County is developing a permit system for waste haulers in order to fund a position enforcing required recycling.
Public Works Commissioner Kevin Hajos told the Public Works Committee at its Wednesday meeting that the county passed a law to create the permit requirement in 1991, but it was never implemented for some reason. He could not find information in county records.
As part of its solid waste plan, Hajos said the county needs to make sure that the waste haulers are actually diverting recyclables from the landfill and not just mixing them in with the regular trash.
