Mayor de Blasio’s new Sanitation boss rolled out plans Saturday for several bold initiatives that will affect every New Yorker.
Kathryn Garcia said she will expand the city’s composting program, just after de Blasio announced Saturday her appointment as the Department of Sanitation’s new commissioner.
“We’ve spoken about taking this agency to the forefront of the nation in terms of composting,” Garcia said. For most New Yorkers, the plan will mean separating organic waste from other trash.
