About our cover photo: Fly fishing in the Upper Delaware River in New York State. The Delaware was named 2020 River of the Year by American Rivers, and is a remarkable comeback story. The work of extensive local initiatives supported by numerous fly fishing organizations and clubs has dramatically improved water quality, making the Delaware one of the best wild trout streams east of the Rocky Mountains.

CLOSING THE LOOP
IT'S COMPOST GIVE-BACK TIME!
______________________
 

Grab your empty bins and buckets, and join us to celebrate and take home the compost that has been produced by the Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow Food Scrap Recycling programs. Residents of our villages have been sending their organic waste to the compost instead of the trash incinerator–now it’s time to bring home the nutrient-dense compost that is produced, and use it in your home garden!

  • Sunday, June 25th (Rain or Shine)
  • 3 - 5 pm
  • John Paulding School Parking Lot (Extra parking in TUFSD administrative building lot)

We’ll have a compost learning station for kids and families, and information about our Villages’ programs. We’ll also answer questions about John Paulding’s composting pilot, a new initiative to collect food scraps in the cafeteria and classrooms, which TUFSD plans to roll out to all of its campuses in the next few years. 

All residents of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow are welcome to take up to two large bins of compost, first come first served. You bring the bins, we'll have shovels.

Co-Sponsored by: Sleepy Hollow Environmental Advisory Committee (SHEAC), Climate Smart Communities, and Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council (TEAC).
