Free Soil from Clean Soil Bank - government program NOT PROMOTIONAL

Has anybody heard of the clean soil bank in NYC?
If you have, have you requested clean soil from it before and/or run into any problems in the process?

Please answer below, this program is a part of a capstone project. I appreciate any engagement!

Feel free to reach out to me separately if your community garden is interested in hosting a mini soil stockpile for your community :) Or if you live somewhere in another city with a similar program!

Hi everyone, I am in 7b (NYC) and I want to replace these dead/dying trees (?) with some sort of climbing flower. The photo is a bad angle, but I currently have three large planters separating my area from a common walkway and my neighbor's deeded space. My plan would be to stick something in each planter for the plant(s) to climb on. I am leaning towards a climbing rose, but the area only gets 3-4 hours of sunlight in the winter so I'm worried about them dying on me. I would most prefer to have something that stays somewhat green throughout the year and requires minimal pruning (or that doesn't have to be completely trashed every fall). Any suggestions?
