Impact analysis
The city will likely spend upfront on collection and processing, but diverting scraps could trim landfill costs over time.
Residents who want to compost, the city’s waste budget, and the environment all stand to gain from less landfill waste.
No groups negatively affected; the only downside is minor sorting effort for participating households.
