Mandatory composting begins in NYC

[@Notlookingforfriends]

I am so serious. You really think project people are gonna do this? NO. And will they be punished? NO.

[@19irving]

They can't even bag their trash right.

[@marysuckafreechic9006]

@@19irvingeveryone in the projects are not like what you say! I live in the projects and I bag my trash right and for your dumb idiotic comment, there are recycling bins and composting already happening here in the Bronx where I’m from. We have a garden as well. Stop trying to talk down on people generally just because it’s projects. There are really hard working people in the projects as well so STFU 🤬

[@jamesstpatrick8493]

Bins are free.

[@deluxeomega9674]

I wonder if the restaurants & supermarkets are composting as well?

[@daviddeng9297]

Private garbage companies pick up their trash so DSNY ain’t a concern for them

[@chiquita683]

Arrest whoever came up with this

[@DylarianTalks]

why? They are trying something new.

[@Notlookingforfriends]

@@DylarianTalks cause it is stupid. Do some research. The “recycling” the city claims to do is a lie. It all just goes to a landfill.

[@MrKlausHeisler]

It's the dawn liberals and green people

[@Notlookingforfriends]

Everyone will be held to it except for the project dwellers. They get to do whatever they want in this city.

[@jayb7735]

So when a crackhead runs off with my garbage can…does the city compensate me?

[@tash_tash711cr6]

More reason to fine law abiding citizens

[@AnnUnicornStar]

it'll attract so many rats and bugs to apmts and the dumpsters on the streets. the smell will also be awful. Decomposing food matter is one of the worst smells. Also, what will restaurants and fast food places do? Are they going to make customers sort their food scraps? Are they going to make fast food employees pick through the trash to separate food scraps? Seems like a biohazard to the workers.

[@thesubwaynut]

I cannot believe I and millions of others have to do so much extra work when dealing with trash due to a few people big crybabies

[@jghoback86]

Cope harder.

[@pedromolina9558]

Great idea but as a Porter/Handyman in NYC, ppl are too lazy & dumb to separate their garbage and waste. I work in Hudson Hts and I find it crazy how people that are “smart”, they don’t know how to recycle and separate their waste. 😂😂 we have pictures in my building and people still don’t get it. 😂

[@aimightymatt256]

Yay! Now I can search for more cans and bottles and eat more often. Thank you New York, making life easier

[@HKNYNY]

Compost collection was originally announced as a new service to New Yorkers who were inclined to participate. Shortly after, the City Council passed a law making it mandatory with non compliance punishable by fines. Absolutely no thought was given to the difficulties that it would create for small apartment building owners who self-manage and have no employees. It is outrageous. The city maintains collection bins for people who exist to participate. If the goal is for more people to do it, they should devise some educational messaging and increase the number of collection bins as the popularity grows. To dictate that everyone must participate, while it involves an unpleasant task and/or the hiring of someone to manage it on a weekly basis is unreasonable.

[@mar-45]

I say ,,,,F you .... Its all bout control...

[@LeftHookDeadly280]

Exactly

[@patrickh9937]

I live in Brooklyn and this is the first I've heard of it.

[@DylarianTalks]

@@patrickh9937 because you’re Patrick you live under a rock

[@Notlookingforfriends]

@@DylarianTalks haha 😂 nah u funny for that 😆

[@EFacundo]

I'm super excited aboit getting my brown bin from the city. I've been composting at home for years, but i was throwing away meat scraps, and other potential items we could save from the landfill. Im happy to do my part to help!

[@19irving]

I believe in composting. I immediately put composted material in a can in my yard. But I can't see keeping food scraps around for a week in an apartment. It's just going to attract vermin. Do apartments have outdoor bins where people can dump the stuff daily?

[@christinah1379]

Streets are gonna smell fantastic

[@jazziez6467]

0:57 so his styrafoam container along with who knows what is in the plastic bag goes in the compost bin?

[@E.Nigma-dk9bt]

My question is will this hold up to yard waste in the fall season

[@jamesstpatrick8493]

Ive composted. Its easy and saves on bags

[@jacquelinelee7232]

How and where do I get these bins to buy????

[@sthcalguy3024]

So gross. The homeless will be eating out of the bins.

[@MarknNewYorkCity]

Who's gonna sort all the food scraps from the mta trash bins in the stations

[@BilldoeTruth]

System trash 😢

[@frauwolftherehorse]

Boooo!!!! 👎

[@dollingtonAvenue]

🤦🏽 0:55 soo he uses the pedal to open the trash receptacle, only to grab its handle anyway. 🤯🦠🤢

[@Notlookingforfriends]

Liberal logic 😂
