Croton-On-Hudson: Registration Open For Food Scrap Recycling Program

Press release from the Village of Croton-on-Hudson:

July 13, 2023

Following the success of the Food Scrap Pilot Program, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson is re-opening registration for the Food Scrap Recycling Program to provide residents the opportunity to reduce waste by composting unused food scraps.

Croton households who enroll in the program will be able to drop off bagged food scraps that will be collected weekly and transported to a nearby commercial composting facility. The program will provide the Village and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation with valuable information on how the process of food scrap co-collection can reduce carbon emissions, cut back on food waste, and save taxpayer money on municipal waste disposal costs.

Registration is required to participate. If your household would like to participate, please review the Food Scrap Recycling Program Rules and Procedures here: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/sustainability-committee/news/croton%E2%80%99s-food-scrap-recycling-program

For additional questions and to register to participate in the program, email keikoniccolini@gmail.com. Please put “Food Scrap Registration” in the subject line. In the email, include your name, email address, and home phone number.
