A group of City Council Members, including Bronx representative Kristy Marmorato, is challenging New York City’s newly enforced mandatory household composting program, calling it an unnecessary burden on already overwhelmed residents.
The lawmakers—members of the “Common Sense Caucus”—introduced legislation on April 10 that calls for the composting initiative to be voluntary rather than mandatory. The caucus includes Marmorato along with Council Members Robert Holden, Vickie Paladino, Joann Ariola, Susan Zhuang, Inna Vernikov and David Carr.
