I don’t want it.
It was me. Next time don’t take my seat in shul.
My block is sometimes the target of strong winds and cascading streams of water during rain storms and many a time I’ve found garbage pails (and sometimes just the garbage) that flowed down from upstream on my property. In addition, the folks who collect sometimes seem to take the cans they’ve emptied for a stroll before releasing them.
In any event, I leave it by the curb and the owner most often retrieves it before the next collection.
Meno: you have my sympathies.
If it’s really bothering you, you can vote our lovely mayor out of office. Or more accurately, you can’t…
The liberals who don’t have a clue as to the volume of “organic trash” the average Yiddish Family generates, or what leftover fish smells like a few days after a three day Yom Tov, actually thought this was a viable idea. If I’d eat out more days than not, and only had to contend with a few eggshells and dry leaves, maybe I’d think so too…

It’s not that they think it will work. These rules are designed to generate revenue from fines, not to save the environment.
Trash disposal is a major issue for NYC. The city collections millions of tons of trash and needs a way to dispose of it. It is not cheap to dispose of trash. Just because you put it in the garbage, doesnt mean it doesnt have to be dealt with.
There are no more landfills on Staten Island so the trash must be send to landfills in either Pennsyvlania or Virginia which is not cheap. Its alot cheaper for the city to try to recycle at least some of the trash in various ways , otherwise your taxes will have to go up to pay for it
Leftover food is turned into compost which is used for fertilizer and methane gas
There already is a seperate reclycing truck
When you put garbage in a landfill it biodegrades, but you cant use it otherwise, It will just stay there because there are other toxic items there
If you make a special landfill for only biodegradeable items, you can remove the compost and use it and the garbage mound does not get any bigger
