Donate Your Food Scraps

Turn your food scraps into something that helps our community grow!

Bring your food scraps to the Columbia Street Farm and help us create fertile compost for Red Hook soil. Composting helps reduce smelly trash, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and supports a healthier environment for all of us.

Drop-off bins are open 24/7!

We accept:
•Fruit & vegetables (cooked or uncooked)
•Bread & grains
• Pasta
• Eggshells
•Coffee grounds & filters

Please DO NOT drop off:

Together, we can turn food waste into healthy soil and continue building a greener Red Hook!
