City Staff Ideas Challenge
#nycspeaks2022 Share your ideas for bold actions the Mayor should take
We should expand compost collection to the scale the city collects trash and recycling, which would be appropriate considering
- 34% of waste is compostable
- 43% is recyclable
- only 23% is truly trash
Our waste collection schedules and availability should reflect these percentages. With amended collection service and educational support from DSNY, DEP, DOE, and DOHMH this is not only feasible but overdue

To make this viable for all New Yorkers, we need to create proper structures that allow for apartment dwellers to keep the scrap collection bins secured in outdoor areas. I couldn't participate in the current initiative because there was no safe location for Sanitation to securely drop the bin.
