There are convenient drive thrus for everything from coffee & food to ATMs. But did you know we also have a drive thru for household material waste here in Westchester?? It’s called the Household Material Recovery Facility (or H-MRF pronounced “h-murph” for short) and its located at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla. Oh and did we mention it’s FREE for Harrison residents?!? 😎

The H-MRF accepts a wide-range of household hazardous waste including the following (see full list online):
✅ Automotive fluids
✅ Car tires (with or without rims)
✅ Electronic waste (e.g. computers & TVs)
✅ Light Bulbs (Fluorescent, CFLs & LEDs
✅ Kerosene and other flammable liquids
✅ Paint & Wood Stains
✅ Rechargeable batteries
✅ Refrigerant-containing household appliances (e.g. air conditioners & dehumidifiers)
✅ Cooking fats, oils and grease

Residents can reserve a time slot for appointments (Tuesday-Saturday; 10am-3pm) up to two weeks in advance by calling the Recycling HelpLine at (914) 813-5425 or booking online here:

On the day of your appointment, safely pack your items in the trunk of your car and drive to the H-MRF in Valhalla. Be sure to bring your driver’s license for proof of residency. Once there, employees will unload your hazardous waste so you can quickly be on your way. 🚗

Thank you to everyone who came out this morning to help keep Harrison beautiful by cleaning up our parks! A special shout out to the young people in our community (including the HHS boys lacrosse team and .environmental.club_10528 ) who showed up in force!

The majority of the trash picked up was plastic bits and pieces most notably bottle caps! But we found a wide array of items from a car bumper and muffler to a microwave and patio loveseat!

When all was said and done, the efforts of many enthusiastic residents left Veterans Park, Passidomo Park & the Battlefield cleaner for all to enjoy! 💚

How dangerous are microplastics for us really? And how can we avoid them in our own lives while also working to remove them from our community? Gwyneth sits ...

When life gives you ripe bananas , , , make chocolate chip banana bread! And remember to recycle the banana peels!

All this snow has us stuck inside more these days. One benefit is more time for reducing food waste in creative and delicious ways! 😋 Reduce your waste even more by collecting those banana peels in a countertop container that can be dropped at Harrison’s FREE food scrap recycling drop-off site at 55 New King Street.

Then all that’s left to do is enjoy your zero-waste bread. Yum!
