OCRRA, the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency, is a regional waste-management authority serving Onondaga County and based in North Syracuse, New York. It pursues waste reduction, recycling, composting, disposal, and education to promote community health and sustainability. The agency operates a solid-waste system organized around four principles: reduce, reuse, recycle (and compost), and recover energy. Non-recyclable waste from the county is sent to a waste-to-energy facility in Jamesville where an incineration process generates electricity that is sold to National Grid, with proceeds supporting OCRRA's recycling and disposal programs. OCRRA collaborates with local partners and stakeholders to manage waste, including partnerships with institutions and haulers to collect, weigh, report, and dispose of waste. Recent activity includes a May 2024 partnership with 3GNY, a nonprofit organization.
