Following significant planning, analysis, and contract development, the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is in the process of a monumental overhaul of the City's commercial waste industry mandated under Local Law 199 of 2019. While the Department of Sanitation collects trash, recycling, and compostable material from residents, businesses are required to hire private carters to collect their waste. On January 30, 2024, DSNY announced new no-cost contracts with carters directly to reach the goals set out in the law. These selected carters are then authorized to operate in a given "Commercial Waste Zone" within the five boroughs and under the rules and requirements set forth by DSNY.
