WE’RE MOVING! Starting Wednesday, August 26, food scrap drop off will relocate to the ogfarmersmarket!

📍St. Catherine of Siena Church in Riverside in the parking lot across from 4 Riverside Avenue
📆 Wednesdays 1-5 pm
📝Note: food scrap drop off at Living Hope Community Church will no longer be available.

🙏Waste Free Greenwich is grateful to Reverend Michael Dunn, Marie-Josee Desnoyers and the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes for their partnership. We are excited to see the principles of Laudato Si' - the call to action to care for our common home - come to life with this new endeavor!

🙏A special thank you to Rev. Dr. Jason Pankau, former Assistant Pastor Lisa Madison and the administration and congregation of Living Hope Community Church for their generosity and support. The church not only opened their arms to host the site for many years, they brought neighbors together to build community spirit and common good.
