Participation in NYC's mandatory curbside food waste collection

The Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board (MSWAB) is an all volunteer organization that is working to help NYC achieve its ZERO waste goals. We are pleased that citywide curbside food waste collection by the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is now mandatory for all residential buildings. However we also recognize that composting (e.g. the separation of food waste waste} is a new practice for most New Yorkers. To that end we have developed this survey to understand which buildings currently have service, what concerns residents have about participating, and what we can do to increase residential involvement.

Your participation in completing this survey is much appreciated!
