Beginning April 1, 2025, New York City has started enforcing its mandatory composting law, requiring residents and property owners in all five boroughs to separate organic waste from regular trash. Those who fail to comply will face fines starting at $25 for the first offense, with steeper penalties for repeat violations. The city’s goal is to cut down on landfill waste and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging residents and businesses to divert food scraps, yard trimmings, and other compostable materials.

For property managers and building owners, this new requirement brings both opportunities and challenges. At Premier Compaction Systems (PFMPCS), we’re here to help you meet these new regulations with cutting-edge, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions.
