OCRRA FACILITIES
The Ley Creek Transfer Station is located north of the City of Syracuse, off of Seventh North Street, in the Town
of Salina. The address is 5158 Ley Creek Dr., Liverpool, NY 13088. The Ley Creek Transfer Station site is only
used for small residential customers that bring small quantities of household trash and mixed MSW/C&D loads.
The Rock Cut Road Transfer Station located at 5808 Rock Cut Road, Jamesville and was built as a shredding
plant in 1972 and converted to a transfer station in 1983. It is a two-level building with a 4,900 square foot

Onondaga County Waste-to-Energy Facility, and "bypass material" that must be diverted to a landfill (currently,
and for the term of this contract, the Seneca Meadows Landfill).
