TL;DR

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has proposed the city's first composting mandate, requiring residents with yards to separate their yard waste from trash. The program will start in Queens in June and will be implemented citywide over the next 18 months. The new rules on yard waste will coincide with a voluntary curbside composting program across all five boroughs. The yard-waste mandate is expected to begin in Queens in June and would take effect in the other boroughs when curbside composting begins in that borough. The new rules aim to make the city cleaner, improve trash collection, and promote sustainability.
