NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY): All Businesses Must Containerize Trash

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is implementing a new rule to send rats packing. Starting March 1st, all businesses in NYC must use rigid containers with secure lids when setting out trash for collection.

Businesses that place waste on the curb have two options:

  • Place waste at the curb 1 hour before closing or after 8:00 PM

DSNY is hosting a series of one-hour information sessions through March 25th. Please register for sessions in advance by clicking here.
