Brooklyn: Here’s the dirt on free compost. (And how to get a $70 compost bin for $20.)

The NYC Department of Sanitation – in conjunction with Compost Project staff at Brooklyn Botanic Garden – is giving away free, high-quality compost! If you’re a City resident, just bring a shovel and enough bags or containers to take away an unlimited amount of free compost ( while supplies last). We’re also selling compost bins at the subsidized price of $20, so you can make your own compost. The bins are made of recycled plastic. Free compost and subsidized bins will be available – on a first-come, first-served basis – only to NYC residents and NYC community groups (proof of residency will be requested; sorry, no commercial landscapers or other businesses allowed). Nonprofit and community organizations can arrive in trucks to collect large quantities of compost starting at 8:30am. The Department of Sanitation will have equipment on hand to load trucks with compost. To ensure that the compost is destined for nonprofits or community gardens, organizations must pre-register with the Urban Composting Project at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. For more information, visit the New York City Compost Project website at www.nyccompost.org or call the Urban Composting Project at Brooklyn Botanic Garden at (718) 623-7290. The compost comes from the NYC Department of Sanitation’s leaf and Christmas tree composting operations. Now you can enjoy the benefits of this recycling program. Here’s where to go: SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 10am - 4pm SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 10am - 4pm Location: Spring Creek Composting Facility in Brooklyn (southeast corner of Flatlands Avenue and Fountain Avenue, across from the U.S. Postal Service facility and adjacent to the Department of Environmental Protection’s water treatment plant )
