(click photo to view slideshow)

As the curtain closes on 2017, we mark TWO milestones for bg视讯’s zero waste programs.   We are thrilled to announce; thanks to YOU we have collected more than 10 million pounds of 食物残渣 at our Greenmarkets!

有更多的! YOU have helped keep 5 million pounds of 服装 and textiles from going to landfills by dropping them at collection sites hosted by bg视讯

Thanks to your participation that’s 7,500 tons of material repurposed to build soil, 创造可再生能源, or live a second life as usable 服装, rags, 或者回收纤维制品!   

What started as 6 Greenmarkets in 2011 has grown to 42 丢弃食物残渣 locations at bg视讯’s Greenmarkets, Youthmarkets, and Fresh Food Box sites throughout the City! Not to mention the 18 new Compost On-The-Go locations near mass transit in Northern 曼哈顿 and the Bronx.  Hats off to you and your fellow dedicated New Yorkers who save, store, and transport their scraps each week. 

New Yorkers are equally dedicated to style, and demand for 服装集合s continues.  What began as “Material Mondays” at Union Square Greenmarket is now a network of 27 markets accepting 服装 each week through our partner, 可穿戴的集合.  每一个衬衫, suit, and pair of shoes collected helps chip away at the 193,000 tons of textile waste New Yorkers send to landfill each year – 5 MILLION POUNDS AND COUNTING!

Food scraps and textiles comprise nearly one-quarter of NYC’s residential discards.  Thanks to you, these efforts are one successful component of getting NYC to zero waste.     

Find a 服装集合 or 丢弃食物残渣 你附近.
