Find a Smart Composting Bin or food scrap drop-off site near you, click here. Before you head out, make sure the drop off site is open and able to accept material. Most food scrap drop-off sites CANNOT accept meat, fish, or dairy.

Big Reuse, our community composting partner, also shared 17 local food scrap drop off sites that they operate throughout Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens as part of the NYC Compost Project so you can use them as well. 

The closest site to our garden is Nurture BK - they are located on Ocean Avenue + Parkside Avenue (not Ocean Parkway).

We wish you a restful and nourishing end of your year and we look forward to seeing you in 2025!
