Bronx —
Dena Robins got hooked on composting after speaking with NYC Compost Project reps at a recent farmers’ market in the Bronx.
Robins, who grew up in the Patterson Houses during the 1960s, recalled the pollution pumped out by the trash incinerators in the Mott Haven community.
“The cinders used to go into your eyes during the daytime,” said Robins, who now lives in Williamsbridge. “It was all unsanitary and polluting.”
