I don't think Kings County/Brooklyn has a municipal compost pile. Nor any active dumps in the city limits.

Also I would guess the "local farm" bit is showing that they are supporting tiny/small businesses which is exactly their target market for sellers.




1. Brooklyn has compost bins at most residences, and elsewhere (or at least it was a pilot program, i haven't visited in a year)

2. There are just amazing number of places to compost in brooklyn.

The local farm bit is just there to make them feel better about themselves. That is, again, hipster.

A non-hipster would just be doing it, without making it seem like it's amazing and that they are doing it in some beautiful unique snowflake way.


I live in Brooklyn and do not have a compost bin at my apartment, do not know anybody with one, and don't know of a single place to bring compost in the borough.

That being said, for the latter point, I haven't tried very hard to find one.


NYC has a pilot program

etc It's been expanding gradually.

As for not knowing a single place, seriously, you aren't looking very hard, since "compost pile brooklyn" shows about 50 easy places


Farmer's markets have them.
