Food Scrap Recycling
Food scraps account for over 22% of Connecticut’s municipal solid waste.
This program is organized by the Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board and Waste Free Greenwich, in partnership with the Town’s Department of Public Works, the Conservation Commission and Greenwich Green & Clean.
