New York City’s waste reduction efforts will commence a new phase on Tuesday, as the city’s sanitation agency will begin enforcing a law-mandated composting program with fines. Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation.

New Yorkers are required to compost all their organic waste under a sanitation department rule that went into effect back in October. But despite the mandate, the participation rate is abysmal: Public data indicates less than 5% of the city’s organic waste is actually being composted.
