Starting today, March 1, 2024, ALL businesses in NYC must use bins with secure lids when setting out trash for collection. This applies to all businesses that set out waste on the curb. This does not apply to businesses that have waste collected from a loading dock. As part of our commitment to keeping our streets clean, we implemented new rules to reduce the number of black bags that line city streets. DSNY began the process in April 2023, when they changed the waste setout times for residents and businesses — reducing the time trash, recycling, and curbside composting will sit on sidewalks.
