New York waste and recycling event cancelled

The Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations (FNYSWA) says it has “regretfully decided to cancel” its 2021 annual conference, which had been scheduled for May 16-19 at The Sagamore resort in Bolton Landing, New York.

FNYSWA says it did so after receiving input from attendees and having discussions with The Sagamore regarding “COVID-19 concerns, logistics and our priority for the safety of participants.”

The federation says planning has begun for its 2022 conference, scheduled for May 22-25 at The Sagamore. Additional details on that event can be found on this website. The website also currently or soon will contain information for participants, exhibitors, sponsors and advertisers regarding transferring 2021 registrations to the 2022 event.

The Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations describes itself as “the umbrella organization for the New York State Association for Reduction, Reuse & Recycling, the New York State Association for Solid Waste Management, and the Solid Waste Association of North America - New York State Chapter.” FNYSWA says its goals are “to develop recommendations for appropriate public policy for consideration by state and federal representatives, as well as to provide education, training, and networking opportunities through its annual solid waste and recycling conference.”
