  • Gowanus Canal Conservancy Salt Lot Facility (map)

Join the NYC Compost Project Hosted by Big Reuse to volunteer at our urban composting site in Gowanus. Volunteers will bag finished compost, break down paper bags/sticks/yard waste into appropriate sizes for composting, decontaminate food scraps and chop whole fruits or vegetables in preparation for the compost pile, and help maintain the site in a variety of ways.

Please dress comfortably and wear closed toed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.

We are located at 2 2nd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215, at the end of 2nd avenue.

There is no public parking at the work site. Please find street parking in the area.

Event led by NYC Compost Project Hosted by Big Reuse.
