Waste Containerization for All Businesses Starts March 1

Waste Containerization for All Businesses Starts March 1 – Starting 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. Please go to nyc.gov/usebins for more information
