Government Support for Community Composting Part 1: Spotlight on New York City

Date: 17/04/2024

Part 1 of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance's Government Support for Community Composting webinar series featured a Spotlight on New York City. The NYC Compost Project, created by the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) in 1993, works to rebuild NYC’s soils by providing New Yorkers with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to produce and use compost locally. NYC Compost Project programs are carried out by teams of DSNY-funded staff at several partner organizations including Big Reuse, Earth Matter NY, LES Ecology Center. DSNY also supports a NYC Compost Project Master Composter Certificate Course, and many program graduates have gone on to cultivate community composting in the city.
