Western Queens Compost Initiative

The Western Queens Compost Initiative (WQCI), a program of Build It Green!NYC, works to increase the capacity of local communities to create and manage composting efforts in western Queens. Our overall goal is to 1) provide sustainable local composting infrastructure; 2) educate New York City residents on the composting process and encourage them to compost organic materials; and 3) reduce the amount of waste sent to distant landfills. Our compost is used to grow food, feed trees, and beautify public spaces
