NYS Department of Enviornmental Conservation (DEC) has stated that they will implement the ten recommendations from the Perinton Conservation Board against Waste Management. Since March of 2017, noxious odors from the High Acres Landfill located on the Monroe/Wayne county line has disrupted the quality of life of residents, school children and businesses in Perinton and the surrounding areas.
 

“Our community will not rest until the odors are gone for an extended period of time and do not reoccur. We are cautiously optimistic that DEC is now comprehending the seriousness of the situation by adopting the Perinton Conservation Board recommendations, and are eager to continue working with DEC to come to a permanent solution.” – Gary McNeil, Director of Fresh Air for the Eastside, Inc.
