Gentile to give out rain barrels in Bay Ridge
Local residents can combine healthy eating with environmentally conscious living when they attend opening day of the Bay Ridge Greenmarket on May 7.
In addition to finding fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, residents who come to the Greenmarket, located in the parking lot of Walgreens Drug Store at 9408 Third Ave., will be able to receive free water barrels, thanks to Councilmember Vincent Gentile.
Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) is teaming up with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to distribute 200 free water barrels to residents.
To secure a rain barrel, residents are required to pre-register by calling Gentile’s office at 718-748-5200 or emailing [email protected].
