New metroSTOR organics cart enclosure set to make a difference in the heart of NYC

We love seeing a new organics cart enclosure hitting the streets. Know what we love more? Seeing others getting excited about it.

Meet Domingo Morales – Founder and CEO of Compost Power. With nine compost sites throughout NYC, their mission is to educate communities and provide residents with access to waste equity, sustainable education, and job training.

“We cannot fight climate justice without giving Public housing residents the opportunity to be innovative, by giving them the power to make a difference at a local level.”

As seen in the video below, metroSTOR recently installed a brand new F-Series Organics Cart Enclosure at Compost Power’s Williamsburg site. Featuring keypad access and a large aperture, the units fully comply with NYC’s containerization laws. This particular unit will soon be fitted with a custom vinyl wrap, and Domingo hopes to roll them out to all eight of their other sites across the city. We can’t wait to see the progress!

“It actually boosts participation and it increases the amount of organic waste we can divert in an urban environment such as NYC. metroSTOR is taking organics collection to a whole other level and helping to contribute to community composting, especially with Compost Power.”

As if Domingo wasn’t busy enough, he’s also a talented musician. Check out the video for his track ‘SCRAPS’ here and, yes – it’s all about composting.
