Town of New Paltz

Mission Statement

A comprehensive Zero-Waste Plan addresses the actions local consumers, businesses, and government can take to reduce the impact of pre-stream, mid-stream and downstream wastes created at the local level through more aggressive reuse and conservation measures. To be a truly environmentally friendly and sustainable community, it is necessary to develop a Zero Waste action plan that encompasses all aspects of community, business and government functions. To have truly successful program, every community member needs to participate and take on responsibilities. The community as a whole will then reap the environmental, economic and social benefits of living a sustainable lifestyle.
