Chef George Duran has experienced numerous challenges with New York City's new mandatory composting program. His compost bin has been skipped for collection multiple times, and logistical issues arose due to tree placement and space constraints. Duran expressed frustration about the hassle of composting despite his commitment to reducing food waste. Incidents included theft of his compost bin, which prompted him to take additional precautions. Meanwhile, residents complain about inadequate storage for food scraps in their small apartments, highlighting broader issues within the city's composting initiative.
I hate food waste going into the trash or landfill, but composting has been a hassle.
When he chained his bin to his front gate... sanitation workers told him it was in the wrong spot.
I saw the guy pull out an 80-pound bag of compost, drop it in front of my house and roll the bin away.
... residents complain they have no good place to store their mounting food scraps.
