LES Ecology Center launches food scrap collection Wed. March 24 in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza

FOD-NY-ECOLOGY

The  LES Ecology Center-launches its food scrap collection this  Wednesday, March 24, in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. Acting in partnership with NYC Compost Project and the Dept. of Sanitation, the program adheres to strict guidelines. A pioneer in urban composting, The LES Ecology Center operation is new to the Plaza, not to be confused with the compost collection offered by the Greenmarket prior to the pandemic.

WHERE: Look for the GREEN BINS  near the garden gate  and library box on the cobble platform behind Pink Moose cafe and observe the signs which clarify the rules.

WHAT IS ACCEPTED:

  • YES: Fruit and veggies, coffee, tea, nuts, grains and baked goods.
  • NO: meat, fish or dairy products.
  • NO: plastics or paper products, and absolutely NO dog poop!

WHEN: The bins will be open for collection every Wednesday from approximately 9 AM to 3 PM. After that, the bins are locked down to deter vermin and misuse until the Ecology Center collects the waste for transport to East River Park Compost Yard for processing. Finished compost is donated to community greening groups. As the program gets underway, more bins will  be added to meet demand.

LEAVE NO TRACE! 

An expression used by hikers, “leave no trace behind,” applies to our park. In view of drastic cutbacks in city services, please join us to promote public health and cleanliness by disposing of trash and dog feces responsibly.

In April, we will announce Love Your Park Clean-up/Green-up dates. Those handy devices, “grabbers,” make it easy to pick up trash and debris without touching it and are available to volunteers. If you can lend a hand, please email FDHP.

GET OUT AND ENJOY THE SPRING AWAKENING! 

The buds are swelling in the Katharine Hepburn Garden, and Spring officially starts today with the March Equinox. So get out and walk! Fresh air is free! Even a leisurely pace clears the head and tones muscles for greater strength and flexibility.

Send us photos to share of your excursions that include Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. 

Please do your share to keep Dag Plaza and its Katharine Hepburn Garden clean and green in 2021 by supporting our efforts. Healthy parks make healthy neighborhoods! 

We welcome your feedback: email fdhp@hammarskjoldplaza.org

Did you know that The Turtle Bay Association is 66 Did you know that The Turtle Bay Association is 66 years old? 

Yes, indeed! TBA was formed in 1957 in order to address the growing concerns about development and land use issues in the area of Manhattan known as Turtle Bay. 

Today, as its purview has broadened, it works to have a voice in surrounding land use issues, so called reasonable development, that can preserve and enhance the unique built and open spaces of Turtle Bay.

It works to preserve and enhance quality of life issues that affect both the people who live and work in Turtle Bay. And it works to develop a large and active Membership in order to not only foster a meaningful sense of neighborhood, but create a strong voice in issues that come before city government and our elected officials.
