NEW YORK — Uneaten school lunches will soon be feeding plants under an expansion of the city's composting program.
The city's in-school scrap collection program will grow from 90 schools to more than 720 around the city — including every public school in Manhattan and Staten Island, the Department of Sanitation announced Monday.
The program collects food, yard waste and discarded paper — which makes up nearly one-third of garbage sent to landfills — to convert into compost or natural gas, the Sanitation Department said.
