Three more reasons why It’s Great to Live in Harrison!

3 red oaks were recently planted at the downtown police station and EMS facility in conjunction with the town’s Adopt-An-Oak program. For now, you will just see green plastic tubes protecting the saplings from deer browsing. But over time these saplings will grow to support over 300 species of insects, birds, and small mammals and absorb over 40,000 gallons of water per year helping with flood mitigation.

♻️ Quick Tip
No plastic bags please!

Plastic, metal, and glass recyclables should be placed loose in your recycling bin. Plastic bags - while convenient for collecting recyclables in the home - are not acceptable in your curbside recycling bin.

In fact, plastic bags slow down the recycling process and get jammed in sorting machinery at the recycling center. So be sure to skip the plastic bag (and save yourself money too!)

If you are concerned about recyclables blowing away, try a container with a lid or stack your heavier paper recycling bin on top of your commingled bin to keep recyclables in place.

Another great reason to start food scrap recycling! Raccoons are attracted to food scraps in your garbage bin. But if you collect and recycle the scraps instead, they will leave your garbage alone.

Getting started in Harrison’s FREE food scrap recycling program is easy. Simply collect scraps in a countertop bin lined with a compostable bag. These bins have lids to contain the smell which is so much better than putting scraps in your under sink garbage bin. Once full, you transfer the bag to a larger locking transport bin in your garage. These transport bins can hold 3-4 bags of food scraps. Once full, you take the transport bin to one of 2 drop-off locations:
▪️55 New King Street (by the Westchester airport)
▪️Downtown train station parking lot adjacent to Macy Road
