From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, West Suffield residents can pick up free bins to collect their food scraps at the Ebbs Corner fire station.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Suffield Garden Club, West Suffield residents can now drop off their food scraps into a dumpster at the Ebbs Corner fire station. Up till now, residents had only one drop-off location, behind the Town Hall.
To help West Suffield residents get started with food scrap collection, Sustainable Suffield will be handing out appropriate collection bins and biodegradable bags on Saturday, March 14, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Ebbs Corner fire station on the corner of Copper Hill and Mountain Rds.
We’ll explain the do’s and don’ts of food scrap collection and what happens to the food scraps you collect. We’ll also provide free coffee and donuts while supplies last.
The Suffield Garden Club funding covers the rental and hauling of the dumpster at Ebbs Corner for three years. We appreciate their gift and dedication to keeping food scraps out of the landfill.
