Monday, April 22, 2024 3:00PMNew York City's curbside composting is not off to a good start with low participation, according to a recent study, just as the Adams administration pulled funding for a program that could help encourage people to compost.
A spokesperson for the Mayor's office told Eyewitness News it was not the only program that was cut as a result of lower tax revenue, the end of COVID stimulus money and, of course, the migrant crisis. DeDominicis said last year the Governor's Island composting site processed 800 tons of food scraps and yard waste. The compost is turned into high-quality soil which is used throughout the city's gardens and parks.
Abreu, the chair of the New York City Council's Sanitation Committee, along with the entire city council, have called upon Adams to restore the $7.1 million.
