Battery Recycling At Village Of Scarsdale Hall And More Green News

Press release from the Village of Scarsdale:

December 22, 2021

The Village of Scarsdale is happy to announce the availability of battery recycling at Village Hall! Scarsdale residents can now bring their spent batteries to the blue collection tube on the first floor. Scarsdale is one of the first municipalities in Westchester County to collect used batteries as part of a municipal recycling program.

Our other recycling programs are going strong as well, with over 27,000 pounds of plastic bags
and plastic film diverted within a year! The book recycling program has also been a great success
and has expanded from one collection bin to three due to high volume.

We are also proud to share that in November the Food Scrap Recycling Program hit a huge milestone – two million pounds of food waste collected! Since the start of the program, Scarsdale's leadership in this area has inspired over half of the municipalities in Westchester

County to provide their own food scrap recycling programs.

Happy Holidays from the Village of Scarsdale and don’t forget to recycle your holiday food
scraps!
