Curbside composting
Available to all residents, NYC collects all leaf and yard waste, food scraps, and food-soiled paper. Some of these materials are turned into compost for the community, and some are sent to an anaerobic digestion to produce biogas for renewable energy and digestate for fertilizer. Separation of compostable waste and garbage is now mandatory, and residents are subject to fines if they’re found to be non-compliant.
