Establishes state and municipal composting programs in New York, requiring agencies to set up composting in their buildings.
The bill mandates that all state and municipal agencies in New York establish composting programs in their buildings. These programs must separate compostable waste from garbage and recyclables, with clear signage and labeled containers. Agencies can choose to arrange for private collection, self-transport, or on-site processing of compostable waste. Annual reports on the programs' costs and effectiveness are required, with a comprehensive report by the Department of Environmental Conservation by December 2027.
