Yonkers ' The City Council on July 29 authorized an application for a New York State Climate Smart Communities grant to support food scrap collection. The resolution passed unanimously, 6-0.

Council opened the item for discussion but no members raised questions; the deputy clerk recorded the vote. The meeting transcript does not specify the requested grant amount, scope of collection, targeted neighborhoods or implementation timeline.

Staff follow-up is needed to determine whether the application will fund citywide or pilot collection, expected costs and any required match or partner organizations.
