Edward McAndrew, Public Works Commissioner welcomed Thelman to its hardworking team and said that he looks forward to the innovations to be introduced by her, such as reduction in number of truck trips to the upstate Seneca Meadows landfill, which in turn will save money and cut emissions to a large extent. Her deep commitment to best practices in fields of solid waste and recycling will deliver significant benefits to the County, McAndrew added.

The new recycling director will be involved in discussions with Public Works on ways to improve upon the methods in which the County currently handles recyclable and non-recyclable waste.
