CANTON - The pilot project launched by Canton’s Sustainability Committee to keep residential food scraps out of the waste stream continues at the drop-off location on outer Lincoln Street behind the Canton Pavilion.
Residents are encouraged to continue bringing their kitchen scraps to the drop off site, while the Village is considering an alternative site for the actual composting of the deposited waste.
Food waste deposited in the receptacles on outer Lincoln Street is transported to a site on Route 11 for the compost process.
“It’s a bit of a drive,” says Village Trustee and Sustainability Committee member Carol Pynchon, “and an additional layer of work for our DPW staff. We’re looking for someone – a farmer or large-scale grower – within a mile or two of the drop-off site who would like to receive the material for composting.”

POTSDAM Some senior residents at the apartments run by the Canton Housing Authority are calling on the village to appoint a new housing authority board to handle what they view as poor conditions in the facilities.
Several residents, along with the director of the county Office for Aging, voiced concerns at the village board meeting Wednesday, April 22. They spoke about the state of affairs in the apartments and what the residents called a lack of attention by management.
However, during a separate conversation with North Country This Week on Thursday, the authority’s executive director, Amanda St. Marie, said even with the COVID-related challenges of the last year in the senior housing facility, she and her office have been available to residents. Maintenance and security concerns are being addressed, she said.
