REMINDER: In an effort to keep streets clean, as of March 1, 2024, all businesses in NYC must use bins with secure lids when setting out trash for collection. This rule applies to any business in New York City, regardless of what is sold. Any perishable material (trash or organic material) must be in a bin with a secure lid when set out on the curb for collection. This requirement does not apply to recyclables (metal, glass, plastic, or paper) or to businesses that have waste collected from a loading dock. Businesses that place waste on the curb have two options: (1) Place waste at the curb 1 hour before closing, or (2) After 8:00PM. Bins should be stored inside or in a rear yard if possible. If space is not available, bins can be stored within three (3) feet of the building line when not set out for collection. Bins must be maintained in a neat and orderly manner and always allow for a clear path of pedestrian travel on the sidewalk. More information, plus information session dates, can be found here. | |
