GLOW Region Solid Waste

The GLOW Committee was created in 1987 as a cooperative effort between the Counties of Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming whose purpose was to develop strategies for the management of solid waste in the region. Orleans County ended its affiliation with the GLOW at the end of 2003.
