As part of its Food Scrap Recycling Program, the Village of Scarsdale will be offering free, high-quality compost to residents on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Recycling Center (110 Secor Road) from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Compost will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents are encouraged to arrive early and bring a pail, bucket, or other container to take some home. This nutrient-rich compost is ideal for use in vegetable gardens, flower beds, and lawns, and can serve as a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers.

This compost giveaway, held in celebration of Earth Week, is also an opportunity for residents to learn more about and participate in the Scarsdale Food Scrap Recycling Program, which has diverted over 4 million pounds of food scraps from the waste stream since its launch in January 2017. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and help residents get started, and food scrap recycling starter kits and rolls of compostable bags will be available for purchase.
