Ontario County Waste Disposal Facility appoints a new overseer
In Ontario County, a change is on the horizon as Scott Holmes steps in as the new landfill manager. Holmes, who previously worked at Casella's Clinton County site, took over from Brian Sanders in August 2025, after Sanders' tenure since 2020 [1].
As the county gears up for the future, it has announced that Ontario County's landfill will be shutting down by the end of 2028. This decision is due to the expiration of Casella's contract and the state permit at the end of the year [1].
In the meantime, Ontario County is actively seeking public feedback on its updated Local Solid Waste Management Plan (LSWMP). This plan, which will guide recycling, waste reduction, and overall waste management policies for the next decade, aims to set countywide goals for environmentally safe and economically sustainable waste handling [3]. The public can provide input through surveys that are open until September 14, 2025 [3].
The FingerLakes1.com App, the region's leading all-digital news publication, is a valuable resource for staying informed about these changes. The App, available for iOS devices, offers news on-the-go and is free to download [2]. Subscribing to the Morning Edition newsletter is another way to start your day with the latest headlines [2].
For those interested in staying updated on local news, FingerLakes1.com has been keeping residents informed for more than two decades. Founded in 1998, the company has a website for sending leads: news@ourwebsite [2].
Casella remains the current operator of Ontario County's 389-acre landfill. The facility, which Holmes now manages, is scheduled to close down in 2028 [1]. As the county looks towards the future, it is important to remember the strides being made towards more sustainable waste management practices.
