BioCycle Profiles the History of BIG! Compost  

 
In just five short years our BIG!Compost program has grown from a three bin system at Two Coves Community Garden to a city-funded partnership using state-of-the art technology right here in Queens.

Our program has flourished because so many of you in the Build It Green! NYC community contribute food scraps, spread the news, and share our love for rebuilding our soils. Whether you've been involved from day one or have just started composting with us, read about how we began and where we're going in our profile in the April/May issue of  BioCycle Magazine!
