“For far too long, Astoria has been labeled Asthma Alley and held the distinction of having the worst air quality in all of Queens. ...this partnership offers us a glimpse of a future built around renewable energy generation,” said Mamdani. Looking forward this next chapter for our city! 🌳 🍎

✨ Congratulations to NYC's Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani on a historic win! As Assembly Member for District 36, Mamdani supported our 2024 partnership with Rise Light & Power to plant street trees and transform the tree pits in Queens, helping offset pollution from power plants & improving air quality.

Visit our table in front of our new location at the last weekend of Troutman Open Streets this Sunday, October 26! Staff will be collecting used clothing, selling secondhand Halloween costumes, and providing curbside composting resources.

📣 We're excited to announce Big Reuse will be opening a new Reuse Center (thrift store) in Bushwick, near the Jefferson L train station! We still have a bunch of work to do but aim to be open by December. Stay tuned!

Receive a free 1-gallon kitchen container and bin decal while supplies last from Big Reuse!

We can’t wait to meet you and talk curbside composting with you.
