"The third consecutive week of record-breaking composting collections in New York City came after officials removed fines, demonstrating a significant public willingness to engage with the initiative."
"âNew Yorkers want to compost - they just want it to be straightforward,â said Joshua Goodman, emphasizing the need for a simple and regular service."
New York City has achieved a remarkable milestone in its composting initiative, composting 5.24 million pounds of organic waste in a single weekâsurpassing previous records set during a mandated program. This achievement comes after the city scrapped fines for non-compliance, which eased public participation. The Sanitation Department noted that the program's success is largely due to its simplicity and ease of use. The recent figures indicate over a 500% increase compared to the same time last year, reflecting a growing commitment from residents towards sustainable waste management practices.
