Bed Stuy Compost

Simple - as you cook or prepare food, collect your fruit and vegetable scraps. Check out Get Started for ideas on using containers you already own to collect scraps, a list of places to drop off your food scraps nearby, and a list of all food scraps accepted by our local drop-off sites.

GrowNYC has a compost drop-off site on Saturdays, year-round, from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, 228 Decatur Street (at Lewis Ave.)

Check out the Get Started page for more drop-off locations. 

Yes, you can! If you have access to a small space indoors, a worm bin or Bokashi container can create great compost. If you have access to outdoor space, you can make your own compost bin or use a worm bin or Bokashi container outside.
