Mamaroneck & Larchmont Compost Program

For town of Mamaroneck and village of Larchmont residents who have been supporting the Food Waste Recycling Program since it began last fall, there is good news. The program turns food scraps into compost that will help gardens to retain moisture, kill plant disease as well as minimize the need of fertilizers. Village of Larchmont Mayor, Lorraine Walsh said, “the food waste recycling and composting program advances our commitment to environmental responsibility”. With the success of the recycling program, the Town held another Give Away Compost event on Saturday, May 19th. Residents were asked to bring buckets to the recycling facility, which is located on Maxwell Avenue to receive some of the compost for free. Town of Mamaroneck Supervisor, Nancy Seligson said, “the compost give-back is a gesture of appreciation to the many local residents who have enthusiastically embraced the program”.

The budget, which exceeds $137 million, will allow the district to hire more staff due to the increased enrollment as well as other goals for the upcoming school year. The Rye Neck budget, which needed at least a 50% vote, received the support of 77% of voters. For the seventh straight year, the budget, which was over $41 million, was under the state tax cap.
