Councilmember Hanif is pushing back on the Adams administration's pause on mandatory composting fines

Councilmember Shahana Hanif, the primary sponsor of the mandatory composting law in New York City, is pushing back against the Adams’ administration’s decision to stop fines to most buildings that break composting rules for the rest of the year.

That move came just weeks after the city began issuing fines for composting mandates in the first place.  

Councilmember Hanif, who represents parts of Brooklyn like Kensington, Borough Park and Park Slope, talks with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about it.
