Join Community Composting and Urban Farming

The Schenectady Community Compost Project was launched in May of 2023 to support the expansion of food scraps recycling and increase sustainable materials management education efforts in Schenectady. Would you like us to compost your food scraps for you? We're happy to do just that! Click here to join our Composting efforts and discover more learning and volunteering opportunities!

The Schenectady Urban Farms are community-supported urban farming initiatives in the City of Schenectady. The Sycamore Collaborative serves as the fiscal sponsor of this community effort! The community collaborates in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs, while also tending to honeybees and egg-laying chickens.
