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

Totally agree. The City was expanding curbside composting at one point, but then they scaled it back. Why? At the very least, we should have composting bins at the office.
