BRONX GREEN-UP & NYC COMPOST PROJECT

The weather is heating up and gardeners are beginning to reap the summer bounty. Learn about how to maintain your garden through the summer months by joining Bronx Green-Up at one of our upcoming Community Workdays.

The NYC Compost Project now has six food scrap drop-off sites in the Bronx! Bring your food scraps to one of our sites mentioned below to help create compost for Bronx community gardens or find one that’s convenient for you on the new citywide listing of Drop-Off Sites.
