Compost Drop-off Sites
Local organizations and DSNY compost capabilities
Composting your food scraps instead of throwing them in the trash can help divert organic waste from landfills, create nutrient-rich soil conditioner for our local community gardens, and help mitigate the rat problem in Bushwick.
