Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have remove d from other areas of the Park. We then process these materials on-site by composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Parks soil. By retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and composting them\, w e are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundred s of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduce s the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transporti ng the material off site.

DESCRIPTION:Join us in supporting our Sustainability Team with compost proc essing and gardening work at the 95th Street Compost Compound! \nThe compo st that is currently in progress at our site is created right here in Rive rside Park. We utilize machinery for the composting work\, and when the co mpost is ready it will be applied to soil in the Park\, thus retaining nut rients from the debris that enters the site and closing the loop. \nFor ex isting volunteers: Please sign up through the Grassroots Volunteer Portal. \nFor new volunteers: Please email grassroots@riversideparknyc.org for inf ormation about how to get involved. \n\n\n\nThis event is not suitable for corporate groups! If you are a corporate group\, please email caroline@ri versideparknyc.org to set up a project. \n\n\n\nAbout the 95th Street Comp ost Compound\nOur state-of-the-art Compost Compound is the processing cent er for debris and materials produced in the process of maintaining Riversi de Parks landscape. Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have remove d from other areas of the Park. We then process these materials on-site by composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Parks soil. By retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and composting them\, w e are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundred s of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduce s the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transporti ng the material off site.
