Let's spend our taxpayer money on things that matter to us - not on garbage!

Together with the Village of Dobbs Ferry, and NY State, Sustainable Dobbs is on a mission to reduce solid waste by 0.6 lbs per person per day!
Did you know that Dobbs Ferry pays Westchester County $33 per ton to process our trash, but that we pay nothing for what we recycle?  
In fact, Westchester County made over $7.0 million in the sale of recyclables in 2022!
