This Saturday and Sunday are the biggest days yet for Project LeafDrop. We have more gardens participating, more volunteers to weigh your contributions and more confidence that we can persuade the city to reinstate the Department of Sanitation’s leaf composting program. All we need is more leaves – YOUR leaves.
Bring your bagged leaves to the following gardens. For help locating the gardens, click on the correct borough: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens.
