Compost Giveaway Day

The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Sanitation Commission held its 5th Annual Compost Giveaway Day at our Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center on Saturday April 30th, 2022. A total of over 125 residents showed up between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. to dig compost into their own containers. Containers of compost were hauled away by food scrap recyclers, home gardeners and residents. Over 80% of the attendees indicated that they either compost their own food scraps or bring their food scraps to the Maxwell Avenue facility.
