Westchester County Environmental operates as a dedicated governmental division within the County of Westchester, New York, focusing on the protection and stewardship of natural resources, public health, and overall environmental quality. As part of the county’s broader government infrastructure, the agency provides comprehensive environmental management services, regulatory oversight, and community education on sustainability. A key component of its mission involves the enforcement of environmental laws and codes related to air and water quality, sanitation, pest control, and hazardous material handling.
