The NY Sanitation Foundation restarts Zero Waste Academy

The Sanitation Foundation, the official nonprofit of the New York City Department of Sanitation, announced the return of “Zero Waste Academy,” a program that introduces participants to waste management.


The Zero Waste Academy will consist of eight virtual training modules developed and taught by high-level experts on waste in New York City. The curriculum will explore topics such as:

•The current landscape of waste in NYC, both public and private
•How architecture and the built environment influence recycling and diversion habits
•A focused look at food waste

In addition to the core educational sessions, several optional field trips will allow participants to see recycling and composting in action in New York City. These will include virtual field trips to Cooper Recycling and Sims Municipal Recycling, as well as in-person trips to see Earth Matter’s NYC Compost Project operations at Governors Island.

The final module will connect participants with practical ways to actively solve the problems of waste. Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate of completion and be equipped with the knowledge and resources to create change.
