The ecopark is an innovative partnership between Monroe County and Waste Management to provide a "one stop drop off" for residential recycling.

Monroe County and WM have several innovative recycling partnerships including the ecopark, a one stop residential drop off for hard to handle recyclables, and the Monroe County Recycling Center, the primary processing facility for curbside recyclables. This page provides resources on diversion of materials from landfills, including waste reduction, reuse, and recycling options in Monroe County.

Celebrating 15 years of sustainable materials management! 🎉

In 2011, Monroe County & WM partnered to create the ecopark, a one-stop drop-off for household hazardous waste & hard-to-recycle materials. Since opening, the ecopark has welcomed more than 500,000 visitors!

Thank you to our residents for making responsible recycling a priority and helping protect our environment. Every drop-off makes a difference! When you bring materials to the ecopark, you're making a lasting impact.

Overwhelmed by leaves? There’s often no need to rake! You can leave leaves in place or mow-mulch them to return valuable nutrients to your lawn and garden. Don't forget you can pick up free finished compost at the ecopark during open hours!

🚫 Never put v**es in the trash or recycling!

🔥 V**e devices contain lithium-ion batteries that can ignite when damaged, crushed or exposed to heat—creating serious fire hazards for collection crews, trucks and waste facilities.

🌍 V**e chemicals can also contaminate soil and waterways, posing risks to people and wildlife.

So, what should you do with spent v**es?
✅ Store v**e devices and cartridges in a cool, safe place inside a sealable bag, and bring them promptly to the ecopark for proper disposal.
