Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling (BWPRR) is a program initiated for New Yorkers for yard trimmings, as the New York City's size, infrastructure, and socioeconomic conditions create a unique, challenging environment for implementation of diversion and recycling programs. BWPRR conducted a pilot project to gauge the potential effectiveness of recovering recyclables through mixed waste processing and evaluate the possibility of composting the organic portion.
