Dear Residents,
We are now required to participate in the NYC Department of Sanitation’s Curbside Composting Program. This is not optional for us, but a requirement. We ask all of you for your cooperation by using the bin(s) that are provided.
Curbside Composting is currently already underway for Brooklyn and Queens, and will begin Sunday, Oct 6th for The Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island.
**This is a separate service and will not affect trash or recycling**
**Compost will be collected on your recycling day**
- Please close the bin after every use.
- Please drain liquids before placing material in the bin
What to Compost:
FOOD SCRAPS INCLUDING FRUIT, VEGETABLES, MEAT, BONES, DAIRY, AND PREPARED FOOD
FOOD SOILED PAPER INCLUDING NAPKINS, TOWELS, TEA BAGS, DISPOSABLE PLATES, COFFEE FILTERS, PIZZA BOXES
The Department of Sanitation will pick up ALL leaf and yard waste, food scraps, and food-soiled paper. This includes meat, bones, dairy, prepared foods, and greasy uncoated paper plates and pizza boxes.
DO NOT compost trash such as diapers, personal hygiene products, animal waste, wrappers, non-paper packaging, and foam products.
DO NOT compost recyclable materials. RECYCLING MUST CONTINUE AS USUAL
