@fox5newyork: Starting April 1, the New York City Department of Sanitation will begin issuing fines to property owners who fail to comply with the city's new mandatory composting law. The program, which has been phased in since 2022, applies citywide and targets buildings of all sizes. FOX 5 heads to Forest Hills to see how enforcement will work, the size of the fines, and how residents are reacting. #nyc #composting #foresthills #garbage
At this point sanitation should be paying us, we’re doing there damn job

All this and I’m sure it will go in the same garbage truck with regular trash, we separate recycle all the time and I’ve seen DOS trucks throw cardboard and cans thrown into the same truck. All a ploy just to squeeze more money out of us

The question everybody should be asked is where are they dumping all of this stuff? Is it going to compost facility or is it going someplace in Staten Island being dumped?

How is it composting if we are still bagging them? Is someone going to unbag them at the station? What is the purpose then?
