Food Scrap Collection | Cortelyou GM (Flatbush, BK) - (Apr)

Volunteer with GrowNYC's Compost Program to promote composting in New York City. Every Sunday, food scraps are collected from neighborhood residents at the Cortelyou Greenmarket and transported to a local compost site for processing. Volunteers will help Compost Coordinators manage this busy food scrap drop-off site by assisting with outreach and physical work. No experience necessary, just bring a positive attitude and enthusiasm for waste reduction, composting, and recycling!

 

Volunteer tasks:

- Assist with participant counts with a tally counter

- Help open and close bins

- Help answer recycling and composting questions from the public

- Help remove contaminants from the bins (e.g. plastic bags) and pack down food scraps with a shovel
