Pinecrest Composting Program

Pinecrest launched a composting program. Save your food waste and drop it off at Pinecrest composting bins located between the Pinecrest Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens, right near the cottage - just look for the signs in the parking lot. You can drop off your waste seven days a week. 

Sundays are a special day for composting. You can drop off your food waste and enjoy the farmers market just outside of Pinecrest Gardens. The market was voted the 2023 Best Farmers Market by the Miami New Times.
