Recycling
1989 – Perinton was among the first communities in New York State to have curbside recycling pickup.
2009 – 20 years later we still lead the way — collecting eight tons of electronics and shredding four tons of paper — all recycled at a community recycling day this May.

Weekly Yard Debris Pickup
Perinton collects yard debris and appliances at your curb every week. Everything collected is recycled or composted — over 11,000 cubic yards of leaves alone were composted in 2008.

Saving Our Green

Perinton’s Town tax rate has been one of the lowest in Monroe County for the past 30 years. Using sound fiscal planning, capital reserve funds have been established to pay for future needs without raising taxes.
Preserving Our Green
Perinton’s Open Space Program is preserving over 2,000 acres of open land, including over 250 acres of agricultural lands, helping to ensure the availability of local produce. Offering opportunities ranging from youth sports, quiet nature areas, performing arts venues to family picnic spaces, Perinton’s Town Parks are among the best in New York State.
Green with Envy
That’s what visitors are when they see our Award-winning Aquatic/Community Center. Folks of all ages pass through the doors of this dynamic facility to enjoy the wide range of amenities offered. Built with saved funds, the Center’s construction required no borrowing and had no impact on town taxes.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
