More Bay Ridge residents will be asked to collect their after-dinner table scraps as part of the Department of Sanitation’s organic recycling effort, according to a local official who said the agency is expanding a pilot program already underway in the neighborhood.
Josephine Beckmann, district manager of Community Board 10, told board members at an April 20 meeting that the city’s organic recycling program, which was introduced to certain portions of Bay Ridge last year, is now being expanded to cover the entire neighborhood.
