We are
In 2018, the SoHo Broadway Initiative launched a permanent compost program for residents along SoHo Broadway through a New York Compost Box placed at Broadway and Spring Street. Since the program’s inception, SoHo Broadway residents have diverted over 1 ton of compostable material from landfills.
We are pleased to announce that beginning October 2, 2019, the Initiative is expanding its compost program with the initiation of a second compost drop-off location at Grand Street and Broadway.
The Initiative’s compost program is a collaboration between Common Ground Compost and Reclaimed Organics to give residents in parts of the City that aren’t part of DSNY’s composting program an opportunity to compost and help the City reach its zero waste goals.

The City of New York sends four million tons of trash to landfills every year; almost a third of it being food waste. The New York Compost Box Project repurposes decommissioned newspaper vending racks into receptacles for compostable materials, offering New Yorkers a convenient way to divert food waste from landfills.
