Discussion about
My building is considering starting one, but before we reinvent any wheels I wanted to ask around: Does anyone know of any large-ish (like 50+ units) apartment buildings that run composting programs? In Brooklyn would be ideal, but I'm curious about how it works anywhere in the city.

New York City runs a pilot program for composting through the city's farmer's markets.

Not all the farmers markets have composting, but a handful do. I believe they're going very well so far.

They mention 3 partners, which might have some info for you on co-op buildings doing composting: Lower East Side Ecology Center, Ft. Greene Compost Project and the Western Queens Compost Initiative.
