Kenmore Recycling & DOnating
Many Kenmore residents are intentionally trying to leave a smaller carbon footprint -thinking carefully about what goes to the curb and what might still have life left in it. Items sent to the Niagara Falls Landfill won't fully biodegrade for many years after we're all gone.
For years, the KVIS brought Buffalo ReUse, Buffalo ReStore, and other recyclers directly to Kenmore to collect unwanted items. That program has since ended, but the need it addressed hasn't. Most of us, at some point, find ourselves with items that are still good - a couch, a box of kids' clothes, a working toaster, a stack of lumber from a weekend project - and we'd rather see them reused than buried.

Free Printable Donation/recycling booklet
To help residents find the right place for the right item, KVIS has put together a free Donation & Recycling Booklet. It lists Western New York organizations that accept reusable goods across a wide range of categories — clothing, furniture, electronics, building materials, and more. Keep a copy handy for when you need it, and pass it along to neighbors who might find it useful. Print copies are also available - just by contacting the KVIS.
