The borough president and city sanitation commissioner helped hand out composting bins on Sunday in Archie Spigner Park.
Composting will be collected on recycling day, with no sign-up required.
Queens is the first borough for what will eventually be the first city-wide curbside composting program ever.
Universal composting will gradually roll out to the other boroughs over the next 19 months - coming lastly to Manhattan in October 2024.
