The measurements through September of 2021 show continued participation in the contributions of organic waste and have already surpassed the 2020 total with 4 months more data to come. Joining the growing number of Island households and the Pequot’s participation in 2020 are 2 more ‘big guys’, the Fishers Island Club and The West End Café. So far this year over 4 tons have been diverted from the waste stream – meaning less waste going over on the ferries and more organic healthy mulch and dirt for our island gardens!
Thank you to all the volunteers that are making the effort to contribute and to the FIWMD staff for sharing with us these amazing results!
