Free Compost
Sunday, July 9th, noon to 2:00 p.m.
One forty-pound bag of compost per household will be given away at Newkirk Community Garden this Sunday, July 9th, from noon to 2:00 p.m.
The New York City Sanitation Department and Big Apple Compost are providing the compost on a first come, first served basis to households that didn't get any from Newkirk Community Garden this spring.
Compost from Big Apple Compost 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.
