Step 5 - Get Certified

OBTAIN RECYCLEONE BUSINESS CERTIFICATION

Obtaining RecycleOne Business Certification allows your business to be recognized for taking steps to reduce solid waste, increase recycling and save energy. The RecycleOne Business Certification requires an on-site review from the Authority to verify that specific solid waste management, recycling and energy reduction criteria have been achieved. If the criteria has been achieved, the Authority will issue a RecycleOne Business Certification to the business. To schedule an appointment to have Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority review your RecycleOne Business for certification, please call (315) 733-1224.
