Residents and Buildings: Prepare for Mandatory Composting
|
|
|
As of April 1, ALL NYC residents are subject to fines if they do not separate organics from regular trash. About 40% of all residential waste is organic waste, which creates greenhouse gases in landfills as it decomposes. That’s why separating organic waste from trash and recycling can be a step towards solving the climate crisis. Learn more about the City's Curbside Composting program here.
The NYC Department of Sanitation will host a free information session about the City’s mandatory composting rules on April 24 at 6:00pm. You can also watch a recorded info session here or this recorded webinar for building staff.
Still not quite sure how to start composting? GrowNYC is providing free comprehensive support for residents and building managers to participate in NYC’s mandatory Curbside Composting program, including: on-site assessments of waste sorting and collection areas; assistance in setting up collection spaces; training for building staff; and information sessions and workshops for residents. Apply here.
