Deputy Commissioner Joshua Goodman confirms that metrics on brown bin participation and contamination rates are available online, including monthly tonnage data.

  • Goodman confirms the availability of metrics, including monthly tonnage, on public online platforms.
  • The monthly tonnage currently encompasses various programs but will become a key metric for assessing the curbside composting program's success from October.
  • This information allows the public to track the progress and effectiveness of waste management initiatives.

And my last question is, are metrics on brown bean participation and our contamination rates being collected?
1:10:51
If so, where can the general public access this information?
1:10:53
I think you already answered the part contamination rates earlier?
Joshua Goodman
1:10:56
Yeah.
1:10:56
And then, yes, and then also the the monthly tonnage is is posted online.
1:11:02
Right now, that would include sort of multiple kinds of programs.
1:11:06
But this October, when we're at full rollout, looking at that monthly tonnage will be a meaningful metric about the success of the curbside composting program.
