The Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services houses both the Solid Waste Management District and the Air Quality Management Division.

The Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District provides environmental leadership to promote the public good through innovative strategies leading to the management of all waste.

Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District

One way to become a society that generates zero waste is through recycling. We all know recycling is a good thing to do because the materials you recycle are then made into new products. By purchasing these materials, you are closing the recycling loop. Many every-day products you use are made out of recycled content materials.

There are many benefits of recycling that affect you that you may not even realize. On average, Hamilton County residents recycle 33,400 tons of materials each year. That is equivalent to:

  1. Saving 278,039 trees
  2. Conserving energy to power 5,342 homes for an entire year
  3. Reducing 24,813 tons of greenhouse gas emissions or the equivalent of taking 22,851 cars off the road each year

 

To learn more about how you can be a part of the recycling process, call us or visit our website.
