Volunteering is Rad: Can you Dig It?

Free Compost Give Back Day

To celebrate Earth Day, the Village of Scarsdale is making high-quality food scrap compost available to all residents for FREE on a first come, first served basis! Simply bring a pail,
bucket, or other receptacle to the Scarsdale Recycling Center, 110 Secor Rd., on Saturday, April 27, from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM and take some compost home – last year’s event was well attended, so arrive early! The food scrap compost  is provided pursuant to the Village of Scarsdale residential Food Scrap Recycling Program, which has recycled over 590,000 lbs!

Arbor Day Ceremony

The Village of Scarsdale will hold its annual Arbor Day observance on April 26 at 1 P.M. (rain or shine) in Harcourt Woods. Meet at the wood chip path at the south end of the High School parking lots along Brewster Road. As you may know, trees provide multiple benefits, including improving neighborhood and community appeal, helping to reduce home cooling costs, reducing stormwater runoff, and providing wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. All Scarsdale residents are invited to attend the ceremony. 

Sea of Green: Cut the Yawwwwn

Turf grass is boring. Really, it is -- it's fall asleep uninteresting. It's even worse than watching paint dry. But alas, an expanse of turf grass is also a living canvas awaiting your artful brush strokes. Indeed, Scarsdalians, it's time to cut the yawn. Transform that monotonous blanket of green! Here's just the ticket: The Native Plant Center at Westchester Community College is holding their 20th Annual Native Plant Sale on Saturday, 4/27, from 10AM to 1PM. You'll go blooming crazy over the 100 available, including every prior Plant of the Year!
