Recycling reduces waste. Also laws: we significantly reduced the number of plastic bags thrown away. We can do more.

This article is missing some information: Ulster County's contract with Seneca Meadows is up at the end of THIS YEAR. And it will take 10 years to open a new landfill site. So what is the plan for 2025 and beyond?

Imagine garbage trucks rumbling down 209, thru downtown Ellenville, up 52 and onto narrow secondary roads. This is yet another example of the County treating the Town of Wawarsing like crap. The Town Board needs to step up!!

Town of Wawarsing is on a downhill slide. Time to pay attention to the sneaky ones wanting to fill their pockets while the rest of us pay the ultimate price.

So, pick a poor and rural spot that needs jobs, can’t fight back but has potential for organic farming and for tourism and then put a landfill in it. What kind of toxins will flow into our streams and onto our budding organic farming businesses for the next century? What will the trucks do to our community and tourism? Maybe the landfill generates some jobs but at what cost to developing businesses?

I'd be curious what the pros are? Would it replace our landfill? Would it create jobs? I'm assuming there are incentives to getting everyone else's trash.

This was squashed over 10 years ago when I was Wawarsing Town Supervisor. The UCRRA is an inept agency and proves it once again. Let's "dump" on Wawarsing, the furthest town from Kingston.

We have a closed landfill already. Residents, and the current Town Board, must fight this ridiculous proposal.

Well, that's not surprising. So, is Wawarsing also going to get an Ulster County park at Colony Farm as well? Isn't it about time that we got the county park proposed by Ulster County in its Open Space Plan in 1970? The Colony Farm Agritourism Feasibility Study was also completed over 5 years ago.
