WHITE PLAINS – The City of White Plains, with assistance from the Westchester County Government, has created food scrap composting at its current compost site.
Residents can now drop off food scraps at the Gedney Yard and they will be composed on-site along with leaves and other materials, said Mayot Tom Roach.
“The food scraps are merged with it and they actually help each other make this a better process,” he said Wednesday.
