Our network of Greenmarket farmers markets, Farmstands, and Fresh Food Box sites, coupled with GrowNYC Wholesale, ensures that all New Yorkers have access to the freshest, healthiest local food.
GrowNYC’s Zero Waste Schools Program (ZWS) has helped NYC public schools create effective recycling programs since 2010. In that time, we have worked with over 500 schools and seen first-hand the real change that can happen when all members of the school community work together to make a difference. NYC schools can have a huge impact and help our city achieve Zero Waste by 2030!
Curbside Composting Expansion!
GrowNYC’s Zero Waste Schools will support public schools in the
Bronx as they transition from traditional collection service to DSNY’s Curbside
Composting (CC) collection by providing on-the-ground assistance to school
adminstrators, faculty, staff and students. Through training building staff and
educating school stakeholders, ZWS outreach team will work to build the capacity of
CC schools to develop sustainable compost and recycling programs.
In addition to direct support, useful waste education resources including ZWS's own materials created with or in response to the needs of the NYC K-12 community, are availalbe below.
