The Rensselaer Environmental Coalition (REC) is a group of residents and other concerned citizens formed to address the serious environmental health and quality of life problems associated with Waste Connections’ Dunn Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill.

Close and remediate the Dunn Landfill

Prevent the development of other hazardous projects such as the recently thwarted Harbor Rock efforts to install a river sludge incinerator facility at the Port of Rensselaer.

Residents and surrounding communities have the right to a livable environment with good quality of life for children, families and others

• Clean air in which to live, work, learn and play
• Freedom from toxic odors, chemicals, noise, dust, diesel exhaust and truck traffic.
