The Madison County Board of Supervisors has announced the appointment of Amy Miller as deputy director of the county’s Department of Solid Waste and Sanitation. Miller, a resident of the Town of Lincoln, will be responsible for supervising and coordinating engineering operations as well as overseeing other projects at the Landfill from start to finish. In 2016, she received the New York State Association for Solid Waste Management’s Landfill Operator Certification and in 2015 she was awarded the Unsung Hero Award from the Solid Waste Association of North America.
She leaves the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCRRA) where she worked as an environmental engineer for the past nine years. Miller oversaw the operation of the waste-to- energy facility and performed environmental compliance and permitting work for OCRRA’s transfer stations. She also wrote the update for OCRRA’s Solid Waste Management Plan.
Miller is a member of the New York State Association and plans to become more active in local organizations.
“The Madison County Landfill is very innovative with its gas-to-energy facility, solar panel array, and waste heat recovery system,” said Miller. “I’m excited to join Madison County’s highly regarded and recognized solid waste management system.”
Miller is a registered professional engineer in New York and a 2003 graduate of Cornell University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in biological and environmental engineering. She previously worked for O’Brien & Gere Engineers as a project engineer for major environmental remediation projects.
She and her husband, a Canastota native, have two small children.
