New York City – Mandatory Organics Recycling

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is no stranger to controversy. Over the course of his three terms, scores of borough residents have expressed outrage over his ban on trans-fats, stop and frisk and the city's massive school closings, among other things. Despite his perceived shortcomings, his ultimate legacy could be linked to the long term results of the rapidly-expanding organic recycling program that he started last May.

The organic recycling program involves city eateries and residences conscientiously separating food scraps from non-perishable items, and storing them in sealed trash containers. The developing mulch would then be used as crop fertilizer and energy use capabilities. For participants in the program, strict adherence is important to prevent odors on company premises, as well as preventing insects and larger animals from foraging. It is important for small businesses, such as restaurants and other commercial kitchens which naturally produce and accumulate a high volume of food scraps to focus on what they do best; serving high quality meals in a clean and friendly atmosphere. How is a restaurateur or commercial kitchen manager to know anything about organics recycling?  Business owners in New York City are expected to make every effort to participate in organics recycling, yet are given very little in the way of information from the City.  Mayor Bloomberg expects to introduce legislation that would require schools, hospitals and restaurants to sort left over food waste and divert it from garbage that is headed to the landfill and trash incinerators. This change would probably not take effect until 2015 because the lead time for such a drastic change in a city like New York means a change in culture and how people handle their trash.
