As of November 3rd, we’re counting 18 sites in Brooklyn, two in the Bronx, two in Manhattan, and three in Queens as LeafDrop sites this fall! In addition, in the event of an overflow of leaves at any garden, we now have the gracious support of the Council on the Environment of NYC as well as bk farmyards, Vokashi, and the Neighborhood Open Space Coalition… so if your garden is on the fence about accepting leaves, you may be relieved to know that any leaves you can’t store will be transported to places where they can be composted. Maps of participating gardens for each borough can be seen on our Locations page.
And thanks to Solar One, Brooklyn Green Team, and Green Thumb for major shout-outs on their websites!

Can anyone please tell me if the Parks Dept is dumping their raked and bagged leaves in compost piles throughout parks or are they sending these bags to the dump?
