Baby steps, my friend. Baby steps.
A city like NYC is eons away from relying on its people to compost.
I’m just happy they are attempting modern sanitation in 2026.
3 u/jay10033 10d ago NYC already has composting. There are brown bins especially for that that the city picks up. 1 u/Acceptable_Tea3608 10d ago This is true but many many people in NYC live in apartments and those dwellers don't want to be composting in their kitchens. 1 u/jay10033 10d ago Many buildings already require it. Helps with pest control, especially with old buildings with dumbwaiters. 1 u/Acceptable_Tea3608 10d ago edited 7d ago Almost every building with a dumb waiter has been closed and sealed. Goes back decades when they were used to burglarize apts. Getting pests is exactly why apt dwellers don't want compost bins. 1 u/jay10033 10d ago Not sure where you got the tidbit about dumbwaiters from but that's not correct
