West Side Community Garden

Our compost drop off is now closed for 2020. Thank you to all our neighbors who brought over 150 lbs of food scraps to the community garden in September and October. Our bins are now full and we are patiently waiting for the worms to do their important work turning those scraps into nutrient-rich organic matter for us to dig back into our flower beds and vegetable plots. Other local food scrap drop-off sites are gradually returning to the city check out the following lists ...to find one convenient for you: www.grownyc.org/compost bit.ly/NYCdropofftracker See more

Beginning Sunday September 20th, WSCG is piloting a weekly public compost drop off scheme on Sundays from 12 noon to 1pm. Bring your fresh or frozen organic waste to our drop-off 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.

We’re delighted to announce that West Side Community Garden is now fully reopen and welcoming visitors from early morning til dusk each day. Please remember to wear a mask at all times and maintain social distancing. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
