compost givebacks

giveback event

The NYC Compost Project holds a number of special events called compost givebacks. At these events, compost made from leaves and chipped Christmas trees collected by the NYC Department of Sanitation is given back to New York City residents for free.

NYC Compost Project staff and master composter volunteers are on hand to answer questions and share advice.

Residents are encouraged to bring their own containers and shovels in order to take away an unlimited amount of top-quality compost (while supplies last).

In addition to free compost, home compost bins are also available at a discounted rate. These bins, which normally retail for $70 or more, are available to NYC residents for $20.

Compost giveback events are held every spring and fall. Upcoming events will be posted on the nyc composting calendar.
