News
Food Scrap Composting is Here!
Great news for everyone who wants to compost their food scraps but had no way of doing it. After many years of delay by the previous administration, Supervisor Maria Moore, TOS Board member Michael Iasilli, and Town Engineer Tom Houghton have made it happen!
Compost collection bins are now set up at the Hampton Bays transfer station to accept food scraps such as fruits, vegetables, and bread. The complete lists of accepted and not accepted foods are listed below. Composting saves money by freeing up space in your green garbage bags, reduces the cost of carting waste to landfills, and will create “Southampton Black Gold” compost, which will be available for pickup by town residents.
The East Quogue Civic Association and the Village of East Quogue Beautification Committee fully support this effort. Joe Lamport of the TOS Sustainability Committee will be making a presentation about this program at the upcoming East Quogue Civic Association meeting on March 1st at 10:00 AM at the East Quogue Elementary School. See you there!
