We utilize machinery for the composting wo rk\, and when the compost is ready it will be applied to soil in the Park\ , thus retaining nutrients from the debris that enters the site and closin g the loop. \nFor existing volunteers: please sign up through the Grassroo ts Volunteer Portal. Instructions for how to get to the Compound are on th e portal.\nFor new volunteers: please email grassroots@riversideparknyc.or g for information about how to get involved. \nAbout the 95th Street Compo st Compound\nOur state-of-the-art Compost Compound is the processing cente r for debris and materials produced in the process of maintaining Riversid e Parks landscape. Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have removed 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\, we are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundreds of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduces the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transportin g the material off site. \n URL:https://riversideparknyc.org/event/volunteer-at-the-compost-compound/ LOCATION:95th Street Compost Compound CATEGORIES:Volunteer Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://riversideparknyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2 025/02/Compost-Compound.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240906T173000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240906T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T171045 CREATED:20240410T195900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240410T195900Z UID:10000320-1725643800-1725649200@riversideparknyc.org SUMMARY:Bingo!

DESCRIPTION:The Conservancys Sustainability team invites you to support us with gardening work and landscape maintenance at the 95th Street Compost C ompound. \nThe compost that is currently in progress at our site is create d right here in Riverside Park! We utilize machinery for the composting wo rk\, and when the compost is ready it will be applied to soil in the Park\ , thus retaining nutrients from the debris that enters the site and closin g the loop. \nFor existing volunteers: please sign up through the Grassroo ts Volunteer Portal. Instructions for how to get to the Compound are on th e portal. \nFor new volunteers: please email grassroots@riversideparknyc.o rg for information about how to get involved. \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.
