West Chester County Solid Waste Commission

West Chester County Solid Waste Commission

This commission was created to serve as a watchdog to improve consumers' rights, lower costs, and foster fairness, honesty and competition in the garbage and recycling industry. (Learn more about the mandatory recycling law in effect in Westchester County.)

The commission operates under the Westchester County Solid Waste and Recyclables Collection Licensing Law (Chapter 826-a of the Laws of Westchester County) which requires comprehensive background checks of all applicants for a solid waste hauler’s license, as part of a major effort by Westchester County to reduce the influence of organized crime in this industry.

The commission requires that all carters have a county license to operate.
