City of Plattsburgh residents, we want to hear from YOU!

We are excited to be partnering with The City of Plattsburgh and City of Plattsburgh Climate Task Force to bring food scrap collection locations to the City! This program will help City of Plattsburgh residents keep their food scraps and food waste out of the trash and instead turn them into compost locally by River Valley Regeneratives LLC. City of Plattsburgh residents are asked to complete this short survey to tell us where you would like to see these collection bins located.

As we move forward with planning a local food scrap collection program, we are identifying potential locations for community drop-off bins.
