Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin joined Congressman Mike Lawler in Rockland County this morning for a visit to a Rockland Green composting facility in Hillburn.

During the visit, Congressman Lawler and Administrator Zeldin met with local leaders and toured the Rockland Green facility to receive an overview of its food waste processing operations. The tour highlighted the facility’s role in handling food waste and supporting broader efforts to reduce the amount of food sent to landfills.

The visit also focused on the EPA’s Feed It Onward initiative, a nationwide effort aimed at reducing food waste, supporting food recovery efforts, and promoting innovative solutions that keep food out of landfills.

Following the tour, Lawler, Zeldin, and Rockland Green leadership held a press conference to discuss the initiative and ongoing efforts to address food waste through local and national partnerships.
