$950,000 TAXTER ROAD MULCH AND YARD WASTE TRANSFER SITE  For many years the town took yard waste, leaves, branches to a site within the town to compost materials. Initially there was a market and the town sold the compost to landscaping contractors. There is now a glut of compost material throughout our region. Annual yard waste continues to be generated unabated. The town has entered into an order on consent decree with the DEC to allow the continuation of use at this location for handling of yard waste collected from unincorporated Greenburgh. Upgrading the site to meet DEC compliance standards requires testing, analysis and a design to modify the existing site and construct a facility that will allow the operation of the site according to DEC regulations.

There are other appropriations in the budget for road, curb and sidewalk rehabilitation/resurfacing, vehicles and machinery, upgrading of HVAC systems, etc.
