Elected officials in New York City have turned their attention to how the city can reduce its growing trash problem.
Politico reports that the City Council is contemplating legislation to mandate the separation of food and yard scraps, which comprise one-third of New York’s residential waste stream. After scrutinizing the city’s garbage problem in its “Waste Potential” series, Politico now says city officials running for mayor and comptroller offered varied opinions on how they would solve the city’s trash issues.
