Beach Storytime, Poet Gathering & Local Board Notes
Sea Cliff, NY · August 19, 2026
The salt breeze off the harbor carries a gentle morning haze today, but the village calendar offers plenty of clear reasons to step outside.
The Lead
Village leaders are refining Sea Cliff’s long-term waste reduction strategy, placing a fresh emphasis on residential composting and expanded recycling outreach. Building on goals outlined in the updated Comprehensive Plan, the Board of Trustees is exploring community-level organic waste collection and educational toolkits for residents. The goal is simple: divert household organic waste from landfills, lower municipal disposal fees, and keep neighboring green spaces healthy. Trustees are reviewing feedback from early pilot discussions while consulting regional waste management specialists. Public workshops and informal neighborhood guides are expected to roll out before autumn leaves begin to fall.
