Cover letter for the submission of the annual report: New York City Municipal Refuse and Recycling Statistics: Fiscal Year 2015, which provides statistics relating to the types of materials collected and diverted from the waste stream through recycling efforts in New York City.
Cover letter for the submission of an annual report that discusses the testing, analyses, and assessments of DSNY's alterative fuel sanitation collection vehicles and street sweepers, and the feasibility of incorporating new alternative fuel sanitation vehicles and technology into DSNY's fleet.
This report, which is submitted to the Mayor, the Comptroller, and the City Council in accordance with LL38/2005, discusses the testing, analyses, and assessments of DSNY's alterative fuel sanitation collection vehicles and street sweepers, and the feasibility of incorporating new alternative fuel sanitation vehicles and technology into DSNY's fleet. It also reviews the results of DSNY's pilot program that used alternative fuel street sweeping vehicles in four sanitation districts, with one district in an area with high rates of asthma among residents.
This is the Department of Sanitation's first-ever strategic plan - a blueprint to fortify our vital services, enhance employee and public safety, modernize our fleet and facilities, develop our workforce and lead New Yorkers to send zero waste to landfills.
In 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77, which requires the DSNY Commissioner to establish a voluntary curbside collection pilot for residential organic waste and a school organic waste collection pilot. As part of Local Law 77, the DSNY Commissioner is required to conduct a study on how to improve community composting in NYC and submit the findings to the Mayor and the Council. The 2014 NYC Community Composting Report lists recommendations for how the City could further optimize the use of existing compost sites and resources, as well as expand community composting locations in each of the five boroughs.
In October 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77 of 2013 (LL77) which requires the NYC Department of Sanitation Commissioner to establish a voluntary residential organic waste curbside collection pilot program and a school organic waste collection pilot program. This document is the first pilot program report required pursuant to LL77. The report includes background, a program summary, and preliminary results through March 2014.
In October 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77, which requires the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to implement a voluntary residential organic waste curbside collection pilot program and a school organic waste collection pilot program. Local Law 77 requires the Sanitation Commissioner to report on the amount of organic waste diverted from participating households and schools. Pursuant to this requirement, DSNY submits Local Law 77 Diversion Report II, covering the period April to September 2014. Organic waste--food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste--accounts for nearly a third of New York City's residential waste stream. This organic material, while historically considered trash, is a valuable resource and can be put to beneficial use. If managed properly, it can be used to create compost, a vital soil amendment, and to generate renewable energy to heat homes or power vehicles.
On April 22, 2015, Earth Day, Mayor Bill de Blasio released One New York, a strategic roadmap for a strong, just city grounded in sustainability, resiliency, and equity. Integral to One New York is a commitment to achieve Zero Waste to Landfills by 2030. The NYC Organics Collection pilot program, currently being implemented by the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) pursuant to Local Law 77 of 2013, positions the city to develop an informed, pragmatic and aggressive plan to divert organice waste in pursuit of this ambitious goal. Pursuant to this requirement, DSNY submits Local Law 77 Diversion Report III, covering the seven month period from Oct 2014 through April 2015.
This report summarizes the first two years of the NYC Organics Collection pilot from 2013 to 2015. It details DSNY's operational approach, outreach methodology, costs, participation, diversion rates and recommendations for the growth of the program. Its conclusions are clear: curbside organics collection is viable, popular and effective. As more and more households are brought into this collective effort, we are on sound footing to pursue Zero Waste and to create a more equitable, resilient and sustainable New York City.
The appendices to the 2015 NYC Organics Collection Report provides more data on the Residential Pilot Areas, District Profiles, Participating Schools, the RFID system for bin inventory, and Organics Program in other cities. It also includes a Participation Survey, Recyling Champions outreach, and a history of organics policy in NYC.

This summary details the findings of an independent private carting study, including a market analysis, cost assessment, benchmarking study, and cost impact study. This study was commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative.
This is one of four detailed reports on the private carting industry, commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative. Based on the analysis detailed within this technical memorandum, emission reductions were determined with implementation of either of the two analyzed zone based systems (random or clustered approach). Using USEPA's most updated motor vehicle emission simulator (MOVES2014a) and VMT values for each scenario, significant air emission reductions have been estimated.
This is one of four detailed reports on the private carting industry, commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative. This market and cost analysis used the BIC (Business Integrity Commission) Customer Register, interviews, and other available information to assess the overall structure of the private carting industry including: the number, type, and characteristics of carting companies and customers; customer service and satisfaction; customer rates and cost structure; and pricing sensitivity under a potential commercial collection zone system.
This is one of four detailed reports on the private carting industry, commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative. This truck routing analysis quantifies the extent of the annual vehicle miles traveled by the private carting industry today and compares that with a hypothetical exclusive zone collection system.
This is one of four detailed reports on the private carting industry, commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative. This safety data analysis provides a foundational understanding of the breadth and depth of safety incidents, while the interviews and training materials review provide additional qualitative information to develop a well-rounded understanding of safety challenges and opportunities in private hauling.
