Where can I compost my food scraps?
NYC’s Smart Compost bins
The NYC Smart Compost bin program is expanding throughout the city. New Yorkers can use these bins to drop off food scraps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, helping reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Check their site for a list of what can and cannot be composted.
Currently, there are Smart Compost bins installed at:
- Broadway & 112th Street
- Amsterdam & 113th Street
- Amsterdam & 114th Street
Open NYC Smart Compost bins using a simple app. Bins are emptied on a regular basis and the scraps are composted to beautify green spaces across the city. Download the NYC Smart Compost app for free for Android and iOS.
