SARATOGA SPRINGS — A pilot recycling program is underway in Saratoga Springs City Hall, DPW Commissioner Jason Golub announced this week.
The pilot program aims to test out the logistics associated with a publicly-operated recycling program so that a larger program can be implemented in all city-owned buildings, downtown, and in city parks.
“I would like to see Saratoga Springs as an example for how a publicly-operated recycling program can be successful,” Golub said, in a statement. “In many cases the recyclables just end up in the garbage due to contamination. If we can work through communication to prevent that, the pilot program will demonstrate how to efficiently commit labor, materials, and transition to a more comprehensive recycling program within the city.”
