The Ecology Center’s Curbside Composting Building and Resident Support program is designed to help residential buildings meet the requirements of the city’s new mandatory composting initiative. Through presentations and community outreach events, Ecology Center staff provide property managers, superintendents, and residents with clear guidance on sorting organic waste, proper bin placement, and sanitation best practices. We offer signage, educational materials, and troubleshooting support to address common challenges. To stay connected, join one of our monthly virtual presentations, subscribe to our newsletter, and follow us on Instagram for updates on upcoming events and resources. Our goal is to simplify compliance, reduce waste, and contribute to a greener NYC.
