STATEN ISLAND N.Y. The composting crew was back at the St. George Greenmarket last Saturday for the first time since the pandemic started. And who would think spirits could be so high over seeing Staten Islanders dump their trash?
Well, it’s not just any rubbish it’s the organic stuff of the borough, according to Susannah Abbate, Director of Education and Engagement at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens, Livingston. The Snug campus now hosts a compost program through the Department of Sanitation’s Bureau of Recycling and Sustainability and the City Council’s allotted funding.
