The Village of Saranac Lake Food Scrap Collection Program encourages waste reduction and sustainable waste management practices by providing opportunities for residents to divert food scraps from the regular waste stream.
Accepted materials may include:
- Fruit and vegetable scraps
- Coffee grounds
- Eggshells
- Bread and grains
- Other compostable food materials
The program helps reduce landfill waste and supports broader community sustainability efforts.
Start by watching the short videos to learn about food waste and how to avoid contamination.
After watching, complete the quiz to show you understand the guidelines.
Once you pass the quiz, you’ll receive a code to access the food scrap bin.
Use your code to access the food scrap bin and begin dropping off your scraps.
