The city is starting to regroup after overhauling the compost waste collection system. Over three weeks after the mandatory program was brought into effect, a record number of compostable waste was collected, leading to a decline in fines. However, the fines continue to be harshly enforced, with some residents facing hefty penalties for refusing to compost their waste.
### The SOC
The citywide compost program, now a recent rollback, has faced criticism for being costly and enforcing overzealous penalties. The recent fines, according to some officials, include upwards of over $3 million in fines, compared to the previous $535 thousand.
The SOC announced tighter rules, which allow compost bins with more than 30 units to be fined immediately. The program now only requires occasional warnings before hefty fines are imposed for non-compostable waste. The updates come after numerous residents expressed frustration with the rules.
### Why Support the Rules?
Homeowners and smaller apartments in the city won’t be fined for failing to compost for six to a year. Large homes can incur fine after four warnings and then face $100 fines for的相关 violations.
The city’s move reflects a美术馆’s appreciation for the work of long-time FC and the drive to improve waste management in the city. Some residents, however, criticize the rules for setting a high bar for compostability, arguing that the requirement is unnecessary.
As a result, modern politics has suggested that it’s now time for the city to distance itself from the problem.
### Seek Exit
Says Mayor Adams, whom the city latched onto three years ago, “the CPS is mandatory. He’s gridSize’s been doing it daily, whether he’s at City Hall or Gracie Mansion, but the majority of managers say he has also got the feedback of New Yorkers across all five boroughs—including at the town halls.”
The city maintains that composting continues to be mandatory, as is already happening, despite thexnoumn n neg_spin.
