OCRRA employs innovative strategies such as waste reduction, recycling, composting, disposal and education, to make Onondaga County, NY a more healthy and sustainable place to live. OCRRA runs a solid waste system that follows the 4R's: 1) Reduce 2) Reuse 3) Recycle (and compost) 4) Recover energy The 4th R happens when non-recyclable trash in Onondaga County is taken to the Waste-to-Energy Facility in Jamesville. Through a highly monitored incineration process, the trash is converted into electricity, which is sold to National Grid. Proceeds fund OCRRA’s stellar recycling and disposal programs.
