The wait is almost over, Plattsburgh! ♻️

After a longer-than-anticipated wait due to manufacturing delays, we're excited to announce that the City of Plattsburgh is launching its new food scrap drop-off program!

This FREE program will allow City residents to drop off food scraps, such as fruit and vegetable peels, leftovers, and other food waste, at designated collection bins instead of throwing them in the trash. The collected food scraps will be composted, helping reduce waste sent to landfills and giving food waste a new purpose!

The bins will be installed at two locations in the City:

📍 26 Green Street – Outside the Farmers Market building

📍 George Angell Drive – At the end of the road, near the footbridge

To celebrate the launch of this long-awaited FREE program, we're hosting a Pumpkin Smash & Food Drive!

📅 Saturday, November 7th
⏰ 11:00 AM
📍 23 Green Street, Plattsburgh

🎃 Bring your old jack-o'-lanterns and pumpkins to smash at our pumpkin smashing stations!
🥫 Bring a non-perishable food item to support our community food drive.
♻️ Sign up for the program and/or learn more about it!

Please note: The food scrap drop-off program is available to City of Plattsburgh residents only. The event is open to everyone!

We're excited to be one step closer to bringing this program to our community! Stay tuned for more updates on when the bins will officially be available for use.
