Environment
We engage with the community to solve and respond to key environmental challenges, reduce and make more equitable our collective use of the Earth's resources, and inspire respect for natural systems and our reliance on them.

Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised August 2012 to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle from being transported throughout the state, destroying trees from one place to another.
Food Waste Recycling
If you don't compost at home but want to keep food waste out of our landfill, Tompkins County Solid Waste now offers drop-off locations in Ithaca, Dryden, Lansing and Trumansburg where you can drop your food scraps for composting. Learn DETAILS about locations, how to prepare your scraps, and what food waste is accepted.
Cornell's ForestConnect provides forest owners with educational resources to help them make decisions about the management of their property.
