Perhaps I'm missing something here but that headline is quite misleading, isn't it? The NY residents have to separate their green waste. The fact that that wasn't the case already surprised me, but, this sounds like a big win.
It seems like such a basic thing to do, but most places seem to be quite slow making changes, and it is rare to have it mandatory.
Where I live (Australia) mandatory composting (the resident sorts, the actual composting is done by the city) is only just being introduced now. South Korea banned food waste being sent to landfill in 2005, but our government and community are talking about it like it is a groundbreaking new idea.
