On a quarterly basis the New York State Chapter will "spotlight" one New York State facility. Each spotlight feature will provide information, facility photos and contact information. This will provide fellow members with an opportunity to learn more about the various facilities throughout the state and to make new contacts. To have your facility featured contact Debra Smith at debsmith@co.broome.ny.us

Fulton County Solid Waste Program


For Fulton County the year of 2009 was a productive year as they undertook four large projects.

 

The Fulton County Sanitary Landfill is located in the Town of Johnstown, and is situated on 650 acres of land, with 38.5 acres of active landfill with the most recent expansion of 13.5 acres built in 2004. The landfill construction phases included the original 11 acres, a 4-acre addition, a 10-acre addition and the most recent 13.5 acres, for a total of 8 cells. A total of 105 acres is available for actual landfill. In 2009, the County finished capping part of the original landfill. This project involved closing 8.5 acres of the original 11 acres of the landfill at a cost of approximately $1.2 million.
