Corona ‘cancel culture’: Compost collection on hold

March 24, 2020

Saturday was the last day that food-scrap compost and textile collections were allowed at the Union Square Greenmarket. The city has said these services will not be back until further notice.

Also, at the Union Square Greenmarket on Saturday, every stand had erected some sort of barrier to avoid having their goods touched by anyone.
