Starting next week, weekly pick up of food scraps and yard waste will start in Brooklyn. The city's curbside composting program is already in place in Queens; the Bronx and Staten Island will see it roll out in March, and curbside collection comes to Manhattan in October of next year.

Jessica Tisch, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Sanitation, joins WNYC host Michael Hill to tell us what this means for Brooklynites, and what the remaining boroughs can expect.
