- fruit and vegetable peelings
- non greasy food scraps or leftovers

- coffee grounds with filter, tea bags
- hair and nails (animal or human)
- egg and nut shells

462 Halsey Community Garden is on Halsey Street between Lewis and Marcus Garvey. For information about the garden, visit http://facebook.com/462halsey

Composting helps reduce landfill waste by encouraging you to turn your food scraps into "black gold" for gardening and growing food.

It's good for the environment and good for you.
