On a Saturdays, John Desmond (27), a Bushwick resident, heads to the nearest community garden to drop off the organic waste that he has accumulated during the past week. “Part of the reason why I set this up is because I’m lazy,” he said, referring to Bushwick Eco Initiatives, the project he founded in August this year to try to bring curbside composting to Bushwick for the first time. “I just know that a lot of people are like me. If I just had a trash bin outside of [my house] where I could put it, then I would totally do it like no problem.”
