The Curbside Composting Outreach team at Big Reuse is working to spread the word about the city’s free, borough-wide food scrap collection. If you need compost for your houseplants, a new scrap bin for your kitchen, or leaf bags for your yard waste, come find us at one of our upcoming Brooklyn events!* (*Weather permitting; some events will only have compost or leaf bags available)
