Compost Giveback!
High quality, screened compost will be available for Westchester residents on Sunday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., by appointment only, at the CompostED Facility in Valhalla!

Use the Compost Giveback reservation calendar to book a time slot! Please bring your email confirmation the day of the event.

The Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) is offering this compost distribution event to residents to raise awareness of the benefits of compost, encourage residents to compost at home, and promote the County’s Residential Food Scrap and Transportation Program!

To make an appointment, residents must register for event and sign up for a specific time slot. Due to the limited availability of compost, residents must arrive at the specific time slot for which they registered. Individuals who have not registered, miss their time slot, or arrive too early will be turned away.

Residents who register and arrive on time will receive 1 bag of compost (about a 5-gallon bucket). DEF will load the compost into your car. The team will also provide residents with information regarding municipal composting opportunities and other Department of Environmental Facilities initiatives.

The TarryHollow Repair Cafe is part of an intervillage community effort known as the “The Rivertowns Repair Cafe” and is organized by volunteers from Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

The TarryHollow Repair Cafe was established in 2023. It is co-sponsored by the Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council (TEAC) and the Sleepy Hollow Environmental Advisory Committee (SHEAC).

This is the 7th event in a series of statewide events seeking to engage and connect with community lenders and project developers interested in more information on financing available through NY Green Bank’s $250 million Community Decarbonization Fund (CDF). The CDF, a wholesale lending pathway that will provide low-cost capital to Community Development Financial Institutions and other mission-driven lenders for local clean energy and building electrification projects and other scopes of work, will support lenders financing projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in disadvantaged communities. The CDF and this event support the State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals to reduce emissions 85% by 2050 and ensure at least 35% with a goal of 40% of clean energy investments are directed to Disadvantaged Communities. The NY Green Bank is partnering with the City of Kingston and Hudson Valley Regional Council to promote this event.

The Training on April 30th is for Community Health Workers, Contractors, and Housing Professionals!
