Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency (RRA) oversees solid waste. Curbside pickup is handled by municipalities or private haulers; no countywide collection.
The Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency operates the waste-to-energy facility in Poughkeepsie and transfer stations. Most towns contract with private haulers (County Waste, Royal Carting) or residents subscribe individually. City of Poughkeepsie and City of Beacon provide municipal collection. Pickup typically weekly; set-out rules vary by hauler. Commercial waste is privatized.
