The Eastern Rensselaer County Solid Waste Management Authority is a public benefits corporation established in 1989 to provide its members with environmentally sound, comprehensive, and cost-effective solid waste management services.
The ERCSWMA provides a variety of services for residents and businesses of member communities, including
- Long term waste disposal and transportation contracts.
- Annual household hazardous waste collection day.
- Waste reduction and recycling programs, including establishing markets for all recyclables collected.
- An outlet for reusable goods and other materials that are not collected curbside.

The ERCSWMA also established the ERC Community Warehouse as a Special Project in 1995.

ERC Community Warehouse
The ERC Community Warehouse is a non-profit reuse center established to divert reusable discards from waste disposal. The organization accepts donations of reusable goods (home and office furnishings, appliances, housewares, building materials, and more) from individuals, businesses and institutions. The materials are re-sold, at low cost, to those who need them.
