C’mon, New York. The streets are not your dumping ground. Our Targeted Neighborhood Taskforce cleaned this area, but all residents have curbside trash collection. USE IT!

Composting is easy. Don't want to line your bin? Ok! Want to use a clear bag like you do for recycling? Cool! Prefer using paper or compostable bags? That's great too! Just remember, BLACK bags are for trash, & compost isn't trash - far from it. More: on.nyc.gov/3xUYAeI
