Welcome to Buffalo Recycles!
Recycling is one of the most important things we can do as a community. By helping to mine valuable materials out of garbage, we reduce our reliance on landfills, enhance the quality of our air quality by reducing incineration, save energy, and prevent pollution caused by the extraction and processing of virgin materials.
But there are many more reasons to recycle, and many of those are focused strictly on the bottom line. Recycling saves the City significant amounts of money, and that means more can be directed at the many pressing needs we face every day.
This site is created to provide the citizens of Buffalo with information about the City's curbside recycling program, but we hope you'll also use it to learn more about the value of recycling and reuse in everyday life.
