Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council Honored by NYLCV

The New York League of Conservation Voters honored the Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) and the Village of Scarsdale at their annual cocktail party on November 13th. The honor is for the Village's food scrap recycling program - both for being the first in the County to start a food scrap recycling program and how our program has become a model for the other food scrap recycling programs that have started in our County and New York State.

Since its start in 2017 the Scarsdale food scrap recycling program has collected over 900,000 pounds of food scraps which have been returned to our earth as compost. Want in?
