Sustainable Materials Management

A NYSDEC-registered food waste composting facility, Sustainable Materials Management accepts food scraps, tree debris, and yard trimmings from municipal and private certified haulers. It also runs an on-site food scrap drop-off program for residents who want to bring their scraps for composting. The facility turns discarded organic material into compost and soil amendment for home, commercial, and agricultural use. Its work includes diverting organic waste from landfills and supporting local soil, water, and air through organics processing. Accepted materials include food scraps and food-soiled paper products; glass, metal, plastics, and hazardous waste are not accepted. The Cortlandt Manor facility serves the Westchester region and supports municipal composting initiatives, local farms, and community gardens.
