Great tips from our friends at @sustainablewestchester ——— Happy New Year! With a fresh start ahead it might be the best time for a declutter & organize. Plus, you can make room for all the new gifts.The three-pile rule is the easiest way to go: sell, donate, or recycle. There are great apps for community sales, and there are always the tried and true @craigslistnewyork and @freecycle and new options such as @Letgo and @OfferUp. There are many organizations that would love your gently used and working condition items; and they pick up for free, too! Here are just two of our pics! @bbbsamerica: 914 326-3418 Vietnam Veterans of America: 1-800-775-8387 #sustainableliving #threepilerule #recycle #donate #sell #declutter #freshstart #organize #newyear #sustainable #sustainability

FOOD SCRAP RECYCLING IN TUCKAHOE Beginning in January 2020, the Village of Tuckahoe will launch a food scrap recycling program! Residents can now bring ALL food scraps to the Food Scrap Drop-off Site at the Tuckahoe Recycling Center. This program is for more than just backyard composting items: all food scraps are accepted, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, bread, rice, pasta, raw and cooked food, as well as cut flowers, napkins, paper towels and wax paper. The material is then brought to a compost facility and turned into soil! How does it work? Collect food scraps & paper products in a countertop pail using compostable bagsStore bags of food scraps in a storage and transportation bin. Bring your storage and transportation bin to the Recycling Center and empty into the bins at the Food Scrap Drop-off Site. What do I need to start? Although they are not required to participate, food scrap recycling “starter kits” make it easy and are available at the Tuckahoe Recycling Center Office for $20/kit (checks only). Kits include: Countertop Pail Storage and Transportation Bin Roll of 25 Compostable Bags Questions?
