About this Event

We'll provide the compost and shovels—just bring your own containers or a cart to take home as much as you’d like. A limited number of wheelbarrows will be available to borrow for nearby greening spaces.

Enter the park through the East 7th Street entrance between Avenues A and B and look for signs to find the compost pile. Please note no vehicle access is allowed inside the park.

Do you require any accessibility accommodations for this event? Our volunteers can support! Please check with Lia day-of.

Registration recommended: The event will run till 1pm or when the compost pile is gone!

Questions? Email Lia at [email protected] or call the office at 212.477.4022.
