Beaver Dam Compost Facility is a municipal initiative dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability through organic waste recycling in Bedford Hills, New York. Operated by the Town of Bedford, the facility provides residents with a practical way to divert yard waste and organic materials from landfills by turning them into nutrient-rich compost. This program plays a vital role in the community’s sustainability goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enriching local soil quality through natural processes.

Through educational outreach and hands-on services, the facility empowers citizens to take part in sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the local ecosystem.
