Scale Back on Composting?

syndication-the-columbus-dispatch-47

(New York, NY) — There’s already a push to scale back New York City’s new composting law.

Since the law went into effect April 1st, New Yorkers who don’t separate their food waste, yard waste and food-soiled paper from regular trash risk being fined.

The City Council’s Common Sense Caucus has introduced a bill that calls for doing away with the fines and making composting voluntary. The conservative council members say the law is a cash grab and imposes hardships on residents and landlords. The city’s sanitation department argues composting is good for the environment and helps keep food waste out of landfills.

Many residents say, no one is doing it anyway.
