Greenburgh goal: A recycling center like Scarsdale's

Scarsdale has an amazing recycling center. Greenburgh hopes to follow their lead

GREENBURGH TO LOOK TO FOLLOW SCARSDALE'S LEAD- GOAL: A RECYCLING LOCATION
Commissioner of Public Works Rich Fon and I recently took a tour of the village of Scarsdale recycling center. Very impressive. During our visit we observed non stop activity - residents taking/leave items, recycling e waste. organic food, plastic bags and much more. Residents can leave items at the site for others to pick up. They could drop off furniture and cooking oil. Even textile recycling. See some of the links below.
I asked our new Commissioner if he could explore the possibility of finding a location in thetown of Greenburgh- offering residents a similar service. We can learn from the experiences of our neighboring communities. Scarsdale deserves to be commended for an outstanding and well run service. I'm pleased that they did not copyright a good idea and welcome other communities implementing their innovative program.
