The commissioner explains that encouraging recycling and rolling out curbside organics collection helps reduce waste export costs.
- Recycling more material lessens the amount of waste that needs to be exported
- The citywide curbside organics collection program diverts organic waste from export
- These alternatives to exporting waste lower financial costs for the city
- They also have positive environmental impacts by reducing waste exports

One of the best measures for waste export costs are to encourage city residents to recycle as much material as possible and the upcoming citywide rollout of the curbside organics collection program will also help with that.

So these alternatives to exporting waste help to lessen the financial burden on the city while also having a positive impact on the environment.
