About East Broadway Compost Drop-Off
Welcome to the East Broadway Compost Drop-Off page at LES Ecology Center. We are dedicated to promoting sustainable practices in New York City's Lower East Side neighborhood. Our compost drop-off program is an essential part of our commitment to reducing waste and creating nutrient-rich compost for the community.
Compost Drop-Off Hours
Our compost drop-off site at East Broadway is open from Mondays to Fridays, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Whether you're a resident or a business owner in the area, we encourage you to participate in our composting initiative. Bring your food scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials to our drop-off location, and we'll take care of the rest.
The Composting Process
At LES Ecology Center, we follow a rigorous composting process to ensure the production of high-quality compost. Once the organic materials are collected, they undergo a series of steps, including shredding, mixing, and temperature monitoring, to facilitate decomposition and kill any potential pathogens. The compost is then left to cure and mature before being distributed to local community gardens and urban farms.
