A new food scrap recycling program has launched in Greenburgh, N.Y., in an attempt to reduce the amount of food waste that’s sent to the incinerator.
Residents can collect food scraps in countertop pails in their homes, then dump the contents in a dumpster in a local park, which will then be transported to a nearby composting facility.
The new program is estimated to save roughly 20 to 30 percent of trash from being incinerated.
