Compost Soil Give Back
Saturday, July 8th, 9:00 a.m. to noon
Your household can get as much as 80 pounds (two bags at 40 pounds per bag) of free compost soil at the East Fourth Street Community Garden on Saturday, July 8th, between 9:00 a.m. and noon.
The compost will be given away on a first come, first served basis until all of the bags are gone.
But if you only need a small amount of compost rather than a 40-pound bag, bring your own container to the event and take as much or as little compost as you like.
The compost is from Big Apple Compost and is made from 100% New York City organics.
Big Apple is comprised of yard waste and food waste through the Department of Sanitation of New York City. We’re enrolled in the US Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance Program, providing transparent compost analytics to end users.The compost has the Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) from the Composting Council.
The program – created in 2000 – is the culmination of research and discussion by many of the leading compost research scientists in the United States. Currently this is the only compost testing program available providing this.
