Composting of organics is the most environmentally beneficial and, over time, economically preferable alternative to exporting trash to out-of-city landfills and incinerators. Currently, the city sends most of these organics to wastewater treatment plants to be co-digested with sewage sludge. While better than landfilling, it is far from the best use of organics, which should be turned into valuable compost. Co-digestion of organics with sewage sludge at city wastewater plants also places greater burdens on environmental justice communities where most of these plants are located. Over the next year, the coalition will advocate for making composting the centerpiece of the city’s organics waste policy, pushing for funding for neighborhood-based composting, expanding in-city composting capacity at Rikers Island, and stopping plans to send more and more organics to wastewater treatment plants. Simultaneously we will push the city to expand diversion programs and provide otherwise discarded food to rescue organizations.
