Latimer Celebrates Earth Day with the Opening of New County Compost & Education Center Written by Westchester County
Westchester County residents now have a location to learn how to best divert food scraps from the waste stream as County Executive George Latimer officially cut the - homemade, compostable - ribbon on the County’s new Compost & Education Center. The facility delivers on a promise from January 2020 when Latimer announced the release of Westchester County’s Food Waste Study and outlined the County’s plan to address food waste and food scrap recycling. One of the key components of the plan, the construction and operation of a County Compost and Education Center, has come to fruition.
