Brooklyn residents: FALL IN LINE. BROWN BAGG YOUR LEAVVES!ES! IT’S THE LAW How to set your leaves out for fall 2007 DSNY collection:

1. Place leaves into large paper leaf bags. 2. Place leaves at the 3. Leaf pickup may take place early the next morning, so place leaves at Leaves may also be set out loose in unlined curb on the designated the curb on the designated Saturday night. Leaves not picked up the next day garbage cans. Do not use plastic bags for leaves. Saturday evening. will be collected later in the week. Call 311 for questions about leaf collection. Brooklyn* leaf set-out date: Saturday, November 24

*Brooklyn neighborhoods receiving leaf collection (districts: 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18): Bath Beach • Bay Ridge • Bensonhurst • Bergen Beach • Boerum Hill • Borough Park • Brighton Beach • Brooklyn Heights • Brooklyn Navy Yard • Brownsville • Canarsie • Carroll Gardens • City Line • Clinton Hill • Cobble Hill • Coney Island • Crown Heights • Cypress Hills • Ditmas Village • Downtown • Dyker Heights • East Flatbush • East Gravesend • East New York • Erasmus • Farragut • Flatbush • Flatlands • Fort Greene • Fort Hamilton • Fulton Ferry • Fulton Mall • Georgetown • Gerritsen Beach • Gowanus • Gravesend • Highland Park • Homecrest • Kensington • Kings Bay • Kings Highway • Madison • Manhattan Beach • Mapleton • Marine Park • Midwood • Mill Basin • Mill Island • New Lots • Ocean Hill • Ocean Parkway • Park Slope • Plum Beach • Prospect Lefferts Gardens • Prospect Park South • Red Hook • Remsen Village • Rugby • Seagate • Sheepshead Bay • Starrett City • Sunset Park • Windsor Terrace • Wingate

Here’s why: • IT’S THE LAW. According to NYC’s Yard Waste Composting Law (Local Law 40 of 2006), residents in designated districts must set out leaves either in paper lawn & leaf bags or in unlined rigid containers on specified dates.

• You can be fined for setting out your leaves in plastic bags during DSNY’s leaf collection period.

• Setting out leaves in paper bags allows us to create cleaner, higher quality compost that we can then return to you at our compost giveback events.

Here’s how: • Purchase paper lawn & leaf bags at participating retailers and supermarkets, such as Home Depot, Kmart, Lowe’s, Pathmark, Stop & Shop, Target, True Value Hardware, and Waldbaum’s.

What do we do with your leaves? The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) collects fall leaves from 37 of the City’s 59 community districts and turns them into high-quality compost at our composting sites. Leaves set out in paper leaf bags (or loose in unlined garbage cans) produce better compost.

Compost is an earthy material, similar to potting soil. Adding compost to backyards and gardens improves soil quality and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and watering.

fall leaves + paper leaf bags = great NYC compost! For more info: call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov/nycwasteless/compost

Don’t Litter. The NYC Compost Project (funded and managed by the DSNY Bureau of City of New York, Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Waste Prevention, Reuse & Recycling) provides compost education and Department of Sanitation, John J. Doherty, Commissioner outreach in each borough.
