On Tuesday, April 22 (Earth Day), with the help of Casella, members from the NFTA's HSEQ Team and the Buffalo Airport audited one of the airport's trash compactors at Casella's Union Transfer Station in West Seneca. This hands-on experience helped identify additional opportunities for recycling while also highlighting the collective efforts required to maintain sustainable operations.

As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, New York State requires the NFTA to conduct an audit of the waste generated at each of its facilities. The FAA also mandates an audit of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan. Next week, our safety team will conduct a crucial audit of the Buffalo Airport's recycling stream to identify contaminants. This is a significant step in our efforts to maintain compliance and reduce our environmental impact. Stay tuned for photos.
