At the December 14, 2021 Village Board meeting, Trustee Bertozzi will present a proposal to launch a municipal composting pilot. This is a public meeting and all are welcome to attend upstairs at Village Hall.

After much research and a feasibility plan created in partnership with RIT’s NY Pollution Prevention Institute, we see a path forward for action. We propose that we start a food scraps collection program with 100 households for a 6-month pilot, starting in the spring. If the Village Board approves, we will announce the program and begin taking signups from Village households in the New Year 2022.
