Thank you for your interest in partnering with the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) to design and implement a food scrap pilot program for a multi-family public housing site in New York State.

The ideal candidate will:
• have a multi-family site in mind whose management and facilities staff are willing to participate.
• have other food waste programs currently operating in their community.
• be ready to start within the next three months.

NYSP2I will:
• work with building personnel to understand goals and limitations.
• incorporate a stakeholder engagement process.
• create a pilot plan for collecting food scraps that incorporates input from stakeholders.
• provide guidance and troubleshooting support through the execution of the pilot.

Why NYSP2I?
• 15 years of experience working with businesses, municipalities, and communities
• focus on practical, cost-effective solutions for preventing, diverting, and managing food waste
• extensive and growing network of industry partnerships across New York State
• funding available to subsidize project costs for businesses and nonprofits

Please complete the questions below by July 30, 2024, to be considered for the program. Someone from NYSP2I will follow-up with you shortly.
