Food Scrap Recycling Dropoff

We accept a limited number of Ridgewood households for participation in our DROPOFF food scrap recycling program on an ongoing basis.  Participants are asked not to throw away accepted food scraps, but instead place them in an official program bucket and take them to the recycling center each week. When at the center, participants simply drive up to our attendants. They will empty your bucket and return it to you.

Would you like to participate? To get started:
1) Interested residents submit an application (the application questions may help you to determine if this program is right for you)
2) We review the application and respond to the resident
3) If accepted, the resident receives an official bucket, refrigerator magnet, and welcome brochure.
That’s it!
