NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that DSNY adopts the following rule: this rule amends Section 1-08 of Title 16 of the Rules of the City of New York to require source separation of yard waste, so that yard waste must be put out separately from other waste for collection.
Submitted public comments and hearing transcript for public hearing on DSNY's proposed rule relating to source separation of yard waste & commingling of yard waste & organic waste. Hearing held Thurs, April 27, 2023.
DSNY describes progress this quarter in implementing primary goals in Section IV of the agency's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and EEO play for FY 2023.
As part of the Adams Administration's commitment to long-term strategic planning that improves quality of life and creates an equitable, healthy, and resilient future, the NYC Department of Sanitation has spent the past six months studying the viability of waste containerization in NYC.
NYC Sanitation, in collaboration with the Partnership for New York City, launched a substantial marketing campaign to shame these "garbage" New Yorkers – litterers and dog-poopetrators – once and for all. This is the first major anti-littering campaign by DSNY in at least 15 years.
