In an effort to provide as many user-friendly, environmentally sound disposal options for residents of Oneida and Herkimer Counties, the Authority developed residential convenience stations. These convenience stations work in concert with a wide range of public and private solid waste collection systems by providing convenient disposal options for special or one-time waste, while also providing an option for residents who may not be able to subscribe to a specific collection system.
