This past weekend, Sunny Compost donated about 140 gallons of compost to Big Reuse 

for use with a street tree care project in Sunnyside with PermiasNYC, the Indonesian Student Association.

We are so happy to work with our compost friends in our community.

Yes, it's that time of year - time to spring forward and expand our drop-off hours to 2-4. This time of year is welcome as we realize we've made it through the winter. Our compost bins are full and we look forward to warmer temperatures, new volunteers, more workshops for the community and welcoming of all visitors.

December 2018

 As 2018 nears its end, SunnyCompost continues to process our community food scraps. Today was a cold day but we had 23 drop-offs!! We filled two of our tumblers with our recipe of leaves and food scraps. Our three bins are full and active. We have two large containers full of compost ready to be sifted. It's amazing and beautiful and a true reflection of community.

Today was an example of how we work - three core members were there chopping, processing, emptying tumblers, turning bins - three core members stopped by, checked in, dropped off - a new volunteer, a high school student earning community service hours came by with her parent to help out. We pitch in, help out, and keep the compost flowing.

A member of a local running club dropped off food scraps and left a flyer for a fundraiser being held nearby to raise money for homeless people. We told everyone who dropped off and then stopped by ourselves to check it out. What fun to run into other composters.

SunnyCompost is grateful to all of our community members who drop off food scraps on Sundays. We appreciate our Community Garden friends who help us with putting the bin out and obtaining leaves from Sunnyside Gardens Park.  Our leaf bin is filled to the brim!

Stay tuned for a sifting party invite - we need one for sure!
