FULTON COUNTY SMALL BUSINESS RECYCLING PERMIT APPLICATION
FULTON COUNTY NON-PROFIT RECYCLING APPLICATION
The Fulton County Board of Supervisors passed Resolution #286 in 2007 to offer commercial recycling to
small businesses in Fulton County, which allows them to bring their recyclables directly to this
department. As of Jan. 1, 2020 there is a $40/ton charge for commercial recycling – including large
permitted haulers, as well as small businesses.
The Fulton County Department of Solid Waste has established a permit system for small business
recycling customers to use the Recycling Facility at the Fulton County Department of Solid Waste. There
is an annual $25 permitting fee, then recycling is charged $40/ton by weight.
The commercial (small business) recycling permit will be valid until Dec. 31 of each year. Renewal
applications should be filed thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date (including Non-Profits). Unlike a
permitted commercial hauler, no special insurance is required, and the permit is issued to the business,
so it can be used with any vehicle (although we ask for information on one vehicle when setting up the
account).
Make checks payable to the Fulton County Treasurer. You can set up your account in the DSW office at
847 Mud Road, Johnstown - or mail the completed forms and check to the Fulton County Department of
Solid Waste, P.O. Box 28, Johnstown, NY, 12095.
Please note that the Recycling Preparation Guidelines must be followed, per the attached sheet. This
program is for recycling drop-off only (no garbage) at the Recycling Facility of the Solid Waste
Department; Tuesday through Friday 7:15 a.m.-3 p.m.
Solid Waste Management Law provides Fulton County with a mechanism to revoke privileges of users
violating this law.
NON-PROFIT RECYCLING: The non-profit category follows the same application process and
preparation and drop-off rules, except the $25 permitting fee is waived. Please bring proof of non-profit
status.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Department of Solid Waste, Recycling Info-Line,
at 518-736-5504.
