Greenburgh planning to offer curbside pickup of food scraps to unincorporated Greenburgh and to villages beginning sometime next year
TOWN TO OFFER CURB SIDE PICK UP OF FOOD SCRAPS BEGINNING SOMETIME IN 2020
Last year the Greenburgh Town Board authorized the establishment of a food scrap recycling drop off location at AF Veteran Park. The food scrap recycling initiative is being coordinated by the Greenburgh Nature Center.
The program has been a great success. Many residents ...of the town drop off their food scraps at AF Veteran park, cutting back on the amount of garbage that has to be picked up.
Greenburgh plans to expand the program next year by offering residents of unincorporated Greenburgh and the villages curb side pickup of food scraps. At our last Town Board meeting the Town Board unanimously approved a resolution to apply for a grant from NYS to purchase two collection vehicles dedicated to hold and transport food scraps and provide outreach and education for the town including the villages. It is anticipated that the curbside pickup will be start sometime in 2020.
In the meantime, we encourage residents to continue to drop off their food scraps at AF Veteran park.
Last year the village of Scarsdale became the first community in Westchester to offer residents curbside pickup of food scraps. Greenburgh will soon become one of the first communities in the county to join Scarsdale in offering this innovative program
