Southbury Starts Food Scrap Recycling Pilot Program

SOUTHBURY, CT — Food scrap recycling is coming to Southbury. Food scraps will be accepted for drop-off at the Southbury Transfer Station starting July 1, according to a statement from Sustainable Southbury.

This pilot program is being sponsored by Sustainable Southbury, a local non-profit organization, and the Town of Southbury. The organization said the program "is an important initiative to help reduce Connecticut’s waste crisis and stop feeding valuable food scraps to landfill."

The organization is seeking volunteers to help with the program.

Learn about the importance of food scrap recycling and how the program will work on May 24 at 7 p.m. via a Zoom meeting. During the 45 minutes, there will be a short presentation and plenty of time for questions.
