Representatives from the city Department of Sanitation last Friday handed out literature to commuters and pedestrians on Liberty Avenue near the Rockaway Boulevard A train station trumpeting the agency’s Organic Recycling program.
DSNY has indicated that the plan is scheduled to be rolled out to Ozone Park, Lindenwood, South Ozone Park, Howard Beach, and Hamilton Beach over the next couple of months: Collection will begin in Ozone Park and Lindenwood the week of Oct. 5; South Ozone Park, Oct. 12; and Sanitation crews will start collecting recycled organics in Howard Beach and Hamilton Beach the week of Nov. 2.
Organic refuse includes food waste, food-soiled paper, and yard waste.
