A big thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who come out to care for their communities and help us divert waste!
Street Tree Care
Volunteer for a street tree care event led by our experienced Compost + Application team!
Volunteers help remove trash, aerate the soil, and add a blend of compost and/or mulch to the street tree beds, and learn about why urban trees are so important. See all events here.
Composting
Volunteers of all levels of experience are welcome to compost with Big Reuse and community partners like SkyFarm, Smiling Hogshead Ranch, and Randall's Island! See all events here.
Big Reuse Centers
Volunteers assist Gowanus staff with sorting incoming donations and merchandising items for sale. Volunteer days at Bushwick TBA!
