The fall leaves have fallen. While you may be enjoying the burnt shades they’re bringing to your yard or patch of grass for now, come first snow, things won’t be feeling so pretty underfoot. So it’s time to rake ’em up, bag ’em and… wait for the Dept. of Sanitation to haul ’em off for some large-scale composting? Nope. That’s been canceled. Luckily, though, some others are filling the void in the composting game. NYCLeaves: Project LeafDrop is running a number of leaf collection spots this weekend and next, so you can bring your eco-material and have it put to good use.
Project LeafDrop has a handy borough-wide map where you can click through locations and see when one in your neighborhood will be in business. The Kensington Prospect lists these three collection spots in its coverage area, collecting today through Sunday and again next weekend:
