Food Scrap Supplies and Pick-Up Services
Rockland County, NY
Guided by our mission, we’re helping to reduce food waste while promoting sustainable practices in Rockland County. Our food scrap pick services are designed to make food scrap disposal easier for residents and local businesses.
Food scraps and yard waste make up 20-30% of what we throw away. Composting reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves soil health, and saves valuable resources like energy. Composting is also an easy way to turn waste into a valuable resource that can be used to enrich soil, grow food, and #supportlocal agriculture.
Whether you’re required to comply with N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law §§ 27-2201 – 27-2219. or just can’t make it to the Orangetown’s Food Scrap Drop-off Site during open hours, we’ll pick up your food scraps to transport for you. Plus we’ll supply compostable brown bags each week after your initial compost bin delivery.
Choose between daily or weekly pickup, then schedule your first pickup date. We’ll arrive within your 30-minute window, collect your full brown bags, and leave empty ones.
