Greenmarket

The humble fall leaf packs a punch when used as compost or mulch to return nutrients to the soil. When landfilled, leaves create methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Fortunately, it’s easy to put fall leaves to good use through composting!

WHERE TO COMPOST

Certain neighborhoods can set out fall leaves for curbside collection on specific Saturdays this fall. Communities that receive NYC curbside composting service can set out leaves along with their other organics. Residents with no curbside option can utilize drop-off sites in all 5 boros. Leaves placed on the curb for collection should go in paper lawn & leaf bags, open, unlined containers, or brown organics bins. Do not set out leaves in plastic bags. Learn more at nyc.gov/leafcollection.

GROWNYC LEAF BAG GIVEAWAYS

Stop by select GrowNYC food scrap drop-offs and take home free leaf bags, while supplies last! Leaf bags are also available at outerboro retailers and giveaways.
