COMPOST DISTRIBUTION: Community Compost Giveback

Come by the Urban Farm at the Wyckoff House Museum in East Flatbush (5816 Clarendon rd.) to pickup compost for your home and garden.

Compost is Free. This compost is provided by the Department of Sanitation. It is made of organic waste collected around New York City. It is processed, sifted and bagged in Staten Island. It is very high quality and ready to use this spring!

Each bag of compost weighs 27 pounds. We are able to provide limited assistance loading your cart or vehicle.

Use compost in your vegetable garden to add essential nutrients to the soil instead of using chemical fertilizers. Give your neighborhood street trees some love by adding compost into street tree pits. Kick off the spring by offering your hardy perennials a few scoops of decomposed organic matter!

Registration links coming soon!
