Ordinary Citizens Concerned

Greenwich Citizen's Committee, Inc.


Greenwich Citizen's Committee, Inc. is a group of residents living primarily in southern Washington County. We have organized as a non-partisan, not for profit 501(c)3 membership organization.

We want you to know about our concerns. Currently they center around waste management in Washington County. We are focusing on three areas.


Promoting Composting

On Thursday, July 22, we will take part in a field trip to the Saratoga Springs Municipal Composting Facility. Contact us if you want more information.


Opposing Unregulated and Poorly Regulated Incineration

On June 1, we held a forum at the Greenwich Free Library on the Hudson Falls Incinerator. Video from this forum will appear on this website soon.


Promoting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

Our task force on Extended Producer Responsibility meets regularly. Contact us for more information.


For information on all of these issues, visit our booth at The Washington County Fair, August 23-29.

We also want you to know what we find special about southern Washington County. Take a look at our photo exhibition.

Also take a look at some photos from our 2009 Halloween party, "The Trash Bash.".

We are also concerned about zoning in the Town of Greenwich.

And we have also been concerned about a 108-unit development that John Witt proposed building in the village of Greenwich/Town of Easton. (The location is 57 acres on southeast corner of Rt. 74 and Rt. 372). While Mr. Witt and his associates no longer own this property, the concerns that we had apply to any large-scale development proposed for southern Washington County.
