The free service will allow residents to expand their recycling options and reduce their trash disposal costs.</p><p dir="ltr">The material collected each week will be taken to Cayuga
Compost in Trumansburg for processing, with the resulting compost
marketed to farmers, landscapers and homeowners as a soil amendment.</p><p dir="ltr">The Solid Waste Division offers free kitchen caddies,
transportation containers and compostable bags to encourage residents to
participate in food scraps recycling. The program is seen as playing a
significant role in meeting the County’s goal of 75% waste diversion by
2016.</p><p dir="ltr">Food Scrap Recycling Drop Spots are also located at the
Recycling and Solid Waste Center in Ithaca, at Cayuga Compost on Agard
Road and at the Dryden Town Highway Department (Saturdays only).</p><p dir="ltr">Staff will be on hand each week at the drop spot to answer
questions and provide written material about the benefits of food scrap
recycling. Residents will also find a supply of replacement compostable
bags, as well as caddies and transportation containers for users new to
the program. </p>
