They’re part of the NYC’s Organics Recycling program that just recently spread its pilot throughout additional NYC neighborhoods. If you’re lucky enough to be in a piloted area, the program gives you a starter kit that includes a brown organics bin and a small kitchen container. Collection is once a week with your normal recycling days. If you live in a neighborhood that isn’t currently part of the pilot, you can still dispose of organic waste at one of the cities many drop-off sites.
