Waste watch

How & why we waste:
The Story of  Stuff

New York bans burn barrels

Stop dumping on us! --new web site targets state hazardous waste landfill plan and CWM in Niagara County

Industrial wind watch

Why developer's noise models underpredict complaints

After Yorkshire bans wind farms, Allegany is rethinking its local law

Cattaraugus County IDA comes in for serious criticism

CCCC's Backgrounder: what you need to know to assess wind energy's pro's and con's

Over 90% of New York's waste disposal capacity is located in central and western NY  --maps and links to the landfills

Nuclear waste sites are concentrated in western NY --West Valley, Tonawanda, Lake Ontario Ordnance Works

New York's only hazardous waste landfill is located in western NY --Chemical Waste Management

Health effects of living near a landfill --leaks, fires, stability, landfill gas

New York State recycles 40% of its waste on average, but that could be 85% --zero waste policies, recycling initiatives, alternatives to toxic products

In New York, municipal governments hosting private waste facilities can be liable for future cleanup costs --municipal liability, local landfill ban laws, local flow control laws
