Pedal-Powered Pickup of Food Scraps

Mamaroneck High School students Arielle Herz, Cameron Lee, Ben Gurwitch, and Simon Worth, are piloting pedal-powered curbside pickup of food scraps in select streets of Village of Larchmont starting in May 2021. They are in the Original Civic Research and Action (OCRA) program which challenges students to be civic entrepreneurs by researching a problem within their community and implementing a creative solution.
