Two new rules for businesses will keep the City clean, with the first going into effect today, August 1. Food-related businesses are now required to use containers when setting their waste at the curb for collection – a major change to our public space that will fight rats.
As of Sept 5, 2023, chain businesses that place trash out for collection must use lidded containers. Lock up the trash to keep rats away. This applies to any business with five or more NYC locations, regardless of what is sold. This follows earlier regulations for food-related businesses.
Starting Monday, July 31, New York City food service establishments providing take-out and delivery service may not provide customers utensils, condiment packets, napkins, or extra plates or containers unless such items are requested.
