Beginning Sunday May 9th, WSCG is resuming its weekly public food scrap collection scheme from 12 noon to 1pm. Please note, drop-off will not be available if it is raining.
Bring your fresh or frozen organic waste to our collection point outside the garden gates on 90th Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus, where volunteers will be waiting to assist you.
We can accept the following items:
• vegetable and fruit peelings
• coffee grounds and tea bags
• egg shells
• shredded newspaper and brown paper bags
We cannot accept:
• meat, fish, bones, dairy, fats
• pet waste and bedding
• used tissues and napkins
• compostable bags and utensils
Local composting helps to mitigate climate change. This program offers New Yorkers a way to recycle their food scraps, so that instead of going to landfill, the organic material can be dug into our flower beds and help our garden to look its best for everyone in our community to enjoy.
Please remember to wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times.
