Mayor Brown Unveils "Buffalo Green Cart Recycling"

Mayor Byron W. Brown, Buffalo DPW Commissioner Steve Stepniak, and City Sanitation\Recycling Director Paul Sullivan, today introduced its new roll-out recycling carts as part of its newly expanded recycling effort called “Buffalo Green Cart Recycling Program’. Beginning Wednesday, December 14, 2011, city residents will start to receive their new green recycling carts.  At the present time, if residents have a 65 or 95 gallon garbage cart, they will receive a 64 gallon recycling cart.  Residents with 35 gallon garbage carts will receive a 35 gallon cart.

“The goal of ‘Buffalo Green Cart Recycling’ is to increase the collection rate from 8% of total street curbside collection to 16%”, said Mayor Brown.  “The carts are easier for citizens to maneuver, have a lid which prevents littering, and hold more than the small blue bins we now use.  In addition, we will save money by collecting recycling every other week, which means fewer trucks on the road, and less air pollution.” Read More...
