Hoboken to expand composting program
City expects expansion to save roughly $75,000 a year in garbage disposal fees ×
Hoboken’s drop-off composting program diverted 27.71 tons of food waste from landfills in 2020.
Hoboken will triple the size of its free composting program which the city’s Department of Environmental Services and Community Compost Company say will divert roughly 5.6 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from traditional waste disposal.
The program will increase from four compost drop-off locations to 12 later this spring.
Last year, Hoboken’s drop-off composting program diverted 27.71 tons of food waste from landfills, and offset 1,584 gallons of gas and nearly 35,000 driven miles.
