New York S07809 mandates state agencies to create composting programs in their buildings, allowing flexible waste management options.

New York S07809 amends the environmental conservation law to require all state agencies to establish composting programs in buildings they own, occupy, or operate. Agencies can choose to arrange for private collection, transport compostable waste themselves, or process it on-site. The bill also mandates annual reports on the costs and effectiveness of these programs. Exemptions apply if compliance is deemed infeasible or if the building is in a municipality with its own composting program.
