Composting Ideas

"Last week we got a message from the Block Association advertising a compost service at Abingdon Square every Saturday. We haven't been able to bring stuff there on Saturdays, so our organics are starting to pile up!

Does CGC have a composting station in the neighborhood, that's a little closer to home?"


Do any of you have any ideas how we can set up a composting site?

    What exactly does the composting process entail?

    Maybe we in Chelsea can partner with the folks that administer the Abingdon Square program, but have our site closer to home.

    Otherwise, are there any garden shops in the neighborhood (a la Chelsea Garden of the 1990s) that might be able to do this?

    On logistics: if our Chelsea compost site were open for deposits 24/7, would it have to be monitored (regulated by health dept/guarded/etc)?

    The question regarding a compost service is Where? Some of us with backyards have compost piles but we wouldn’t be able to accommodate much more than our household scraps and yard waste.
