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 )

MUSIC Now hair this At age 84, conductor Julius Rudel (pictured) shows no signs of slowing down. Just days after he leads the first-ever American performances of Walter Braunfels’ criminally neglected opera from the 1920s, “The Birds,” at the Spoleto Fes- tival USA in Charleston, S.C., Rudel will take the podium to conduct Camille Saint-Saens’ “Samson et Dalila” on June 21 as part of the free “Met in the Parks” event in Prospect Park. Saint-Saens’ opera — the only one by this prolific French composer to enter the standard op- eratic repertoire — has a

(718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings June 18, 2005 Hark Greg story taken directly from Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Bible. In it, Jewish leader Samson is betrayed by his vengeful lover Dalila by cutting off the source of his strength: his hair. Before he dies, he prays to Jehovah to restore his might and is able to topple the temple, killing himself and his enemies. Although Saint-Saens never earned a reputation as a premier opera composer, with “Samson et Dalila” he outdid himself: a highly dramatic story with larger-than-life characters, along with his Swinging strongest music, add up to a satisfying opera. And the title roles are always highly sought-after — for the June 21 “Met in the Parks” performance, tenor Clifton Forbis sings Samson and mezzo-soprano Iri- na Mishura sings Dalila. Add to that the redoubtable Met Orchestra playing under Rudel’s baton, and it will surely be a memorable night at the opera in the park. The concert begins at 8 pm in the Long Meadow ball fields in Park Slope. Enter Prospect Park at for Bklyn Ninth Street and Prospect Park West. Admission is free.
