Village of Egg Harbor is a Green Tier Legacy Community

Compost Site Open for Food Scraps!

The Village of Egg Harbor is proud to invite residents to participate in our expanding compost program! Located at 4579 Ball Park Road next to the recycling site, our compost area is now open for residents to drop off food scraps only.

Drop-off can be done during Recycling Hours - Saturday mornings (year-round) from 9:00 am to Noon and Wednesday mornings (May 1 - October 31) from 7:00 am to 10:00 am.

Since 2019, we’ve been turning food scraps from local restaurants and residents into rich compost that nourishes village gardens. Whether you're a first-time composter or a long-time participant, this is your chance to be part of a simple, impactful solution that builds healthy soil and reduces waste!

Residents receive a free, food scrap collection bucket! With a screw top lid and made of food grade plastic, buckets keep smells in and critters out!

The Village of Egg Harbor's Grow Good Pollinator Program encourages residents to support pollinators and healthy landscapes throughout the growing season—not just for one month. Replacing the former No Mow May initiative, Grow Good provides simple, seasonal actions that make a lasting impact, from planting native flowers and reducing mowing to providing habitat, leaving seed heads through fall, and supporting pollinators year-round. The program recognizes that every property is different and focuses on practical steps residents can take to create vibrant outdoor spaces that benefit bees, butterflies, birds, and the broader ecosystem while maintaining attractive, manageable yards.
