Wasson Way

Wasson Way is pleased to highlight Queen City Commons and its community-based composting service, which is helping reduce landfill waste while returning nutrients to local soils. Composting food scraps is a simple but meaningful action that lowers greenhouse gas emissions, supports healthier landscapes, and strengthens neighborhood-scale sustainability.

Queen City Commons provides a convenient composting option for residents and businesses, making it easier to divert organic waste from landfills and contribute to a more circular local economy. Through a partnership with the City of Cincinnati, Queen City Commons is offering residential drop-off locations throughout Hyde Park and Oakley, including two drop-offs along Wasson Way. Programs like this align with Wasson Way’s broader commitment to over thirty perennial pollinator gardens, an award-winning pocket park, over a hundred trees, environmental stewardship, climate-positive practices, and the integration of green infrastructure along the urban greenway.
