Composting made simple? Just drop off your scraps at the Brooklyn Borough Hall Greenmarket on Saturdays and they'll turn it into compost for you. Well, not "for you", but they will turn it into fertile soil to be used at local farming projects, which is a much better use of your trash than going to the dump.
This program started in March and will last until June 25th. You can drop off your scraps every Saturday until then between 8AM and 5pm. Below is a list of GrowNYC's do's and don'ts of composting. To learn more go to http://www.grownyc.org/compost
What to compost:
YES: fruits and vegetable scraps, non-greasy food scraps (rice pasta, bread, cereal, etc.), coffee grounds & filters, tea bags, egg and nut shells, pits, cut or dried flowers, houseplants, potting soil
