COMPOSTING COMEBACK: WHAT NYC NEEDS TO KNOW NOW
On the Thursday, April 16 episode of City Watch at 5:00 PM ET, host Jeff Simmons takes a deep dive into New York City’s composting program—what’s changing, what it means for residents, and what New Yorkers need to know now.
With composting resuming and evolving across the city, this conversation will explore how the program works, the administration’s approach, and what’s ahead for waste management and sustainability in NYC.
Jeff is joined by:
- NYC Sanitation Commissioner Gregory Anderson
- New York City Councilmember Justin Sanchez, Chair of the Council’s Sanitation Committee
Together, they’ll discuss the future of composting, challenges facing implementation, and how policy decisions will shape quality of life across the five boroughs.
