Through a subsidy from the Department of Sanitation, New York City residents can buy backyard compost bins at a discounted price of $20 from the City's Botanical Gardens. These bins, which retail at $70, are easy to use, made of recycled plastic, and fit into an automobile for easy transportation.

These compost bins will be available for purchase at compost giveback events (see the nyc composting calendar for the next giveback dates), and may be available at the City's Botanical Gardens.

Proof of New York City residency is required to buy a bin at the discounted price. The models available at giveback events may vary, depending on location; all are equally suitable for city composting, and the differences are primarily in appearance.
