The City will resume its Curbside Composting Program, which had been put on hold due to the budgetary impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Thursday.
This new iteration of the program will be available to the 3.5 million New Yorkers who previously had curbside collection service, with buildings and residents able to voluntarily opt-in to receive free weekly curbside composting service. Enrollment will launch in August, with collection services set to begin in October and expand as more buildings opt in. Significant expansions of community composting, reuse, and hazardous waste disposal programs are included in the announcement as well.
