The Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board cordially invites you to our 2014 Composting Grants Awards event on Wednesday, December 10 at 6pm, where we will honor and thank local composters from all over NYC who have won our grants this year for their composting projects. Wine, beer, soda and hors d'oeuvres will be served in an elegant setting, overlooking spectacular views of the Hudson River and Downtown Manhattan from one of the top floors of One Bryant Park. The event will be zero-waste; all materials will be collected for recycling and food scraps will be composted.

The Solid Waste Advisory Board of Manhattan is a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to increasing recycling, reducing solid waste, and advancing solid waste policy in New York City. We are a Board comprised of waste and recycling industry experts and concerned citizens, appointed by the Manhattan Borough President's Office. We meet once per month to hear speakers in various areas related to our mission and provide a forum for advancing solid waste policy. We host several events and fundraisers annually and collaborate on many other worthwhile programs with partners.
The SWAB has an annual Composting Grant Program run in collaboration with the Office of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and Citizen Committee for New York City. The program, partially funded by the SWAB, awards thousands of dollars worth of grants to organizations in NYC wishing to start or expand their neighborhood composting programs.
