He stated that Lansing is still scheduled to stay open after June, but how long after is uncertain. At this time the Lansing Facility costs money to be serviced. The County now is paying for this.

If and when the Board ever decided to run it independently he would be glad to sit down with the Board at a later date. Mr. Micilcavage, also informed the Board that BOCES is now servicing school districts in recycling and garbage pick up. They cover.Tioga, Seneca, Tompkins Broome and Schuyler Counties.
