Attention, Warren County residents and loyal customers of the Glens Falls farmers market! Every Saturday morning, from 8 a.m. to noon through October, you have a fantastic opportunity to make an eco-friendly move.
We’re excited to announce the Zero Waste Warren County’s new composting initiative! Now, you can drop by our dedicated Zero Waste booth at the farmers market, located at 19 South St., and leave your food scraps and waste. Think of those unused fruit and vegetable peels, stale bread slices, and untouched leftovers. However, a heads-up: we won’t be accepting meat, fish, bones, dairy, liquids, or any cooking oils and grease.
We request that the food scraps you bring are clean of non-compostable items. That means no paper, plastics, cardboard, metal, glass, twist ties, rubber bands, or stickers. Why, you ask? Because a clean compost pile ensures quality, and several of our generous produce vendors at the market are volunteering to transport these food scraps to their farms for composting.
If you’re wondering about the containers for transportation, you’re free to bring your own reusable ones. Rest assured, a dedicated Zero Waste volunteer will be at hand to inspect the contents to make sure we maintain the integrity of our composting initiative.
Join hands with us in this green initiative and help Warren County tread a sustainable path. See you there!
