The North Brooklyn Compost Project is a volunteer-run compost pile in McCarren Park, Brooklyn. We were founded in 2004, and today help our nearly 400 members reduce waste and improve soil. Our compost fuels backyards, container gardens, street trees, park land and food gardens. What can your garbage do?
I’ll be presenting a proposal about bike carting to the Community
Board 8 Sanitation and Environmental Committee on February 21st at 7
PM. The location is the Center for Nursing and Rehab (recently
renamed “CenterLight”) Board Room, 727 Classon Avenue, between Park
Place and Prospect Place.
Bike carting is now being done in Williamsburg, in Northhampton MA and
Philadelphia.
Picking up the organic wastes from restaurants, coffee bars and juice
bars in our neighborhoods with bike carts and converting these
materials to compost will create living wage jobs for under-employed
youth in our communities, decrease the truck traffic on our congested
streets and provide much needed compost for community gardens.
To find out how we can make this happen in North Central Brooklyn, I
would encourage all community gardeners to attend this presentation.
