Earth Matter NY accepts and processes food waste as part of DSNY’s NYC Compost Project. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art, science, and application of composting in and around New York City. We see that:
⁃ There is one soil, one air, and one water all commonly held and stewarded by one people, the nurturance of which is critical to a verdant world.
⁃ Organic waste should not be part of modern landfills because the waste of any process is food for other processes.
⁃ Transportation of waste far beyond the source unnecessarily despoils the soil, air and water.
⁃ Society needs to alter the way waste is treated as part of an integrated, long term solution to food, climate and energy issues.
⁃ The power to manifest global social change lies within each of us–the challenge to take action rests on our shoulders. We endeavor to:
⁃ Compost organic waste, locally, on behalf of our members.
⁃ Educate, and, encourage and support ongoing community composting efforts.
⁃ Utilize best practices for the improvement of soil health.
⁃ Promote water conservation practices to reduce the CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) burden on municipal sewer systems.
