There are some upcoming events that help Upper West Siders dispose of their waste in an eco-friendly way. We’ve already highlighted two greenmarkets (97th and 77th) where you can dump your compost every week now that city budget cuts have limited building compost pickups.
The UWSR Eco Letter is a monthly newsletter that can help you keep up with environmental news, activism and events like this. Sign up here.
Here are two more events to look forward to, from the UWSR newsletter:
- Tuesday, November 10, 2020, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., Free West Side Paper Shredding Event, 230 West 72nd Street (between Broadway & West End, in front of Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal’s Office). Info: 212-873-6368, rosenthal@nyassembly.gov

I believe the West Side Community Garden compost dropoff is now closed – per their website: https://www.westsidecommunitygarden.org/2020/09/17/compost-drop-off/

Yes, Lianna is correct — the West Side Community Garden compost dropoff is now closed for the season. Thanks to all who contributed! Please check the Garden’s website (westsidecommunitygarden.org) for possible reopening in the spring.
