Description: “Commercial Waste Zones: A Plan to Reform, Reroute, and Revitalize Private Carting in New York City” lays out a blueprint for the implementation of commercial waste collection zones across NYC, creating a safe and efficient collection system for commercial waste that provides high quality, low-cost service while advancing the City’s zero waste goals.
While DSNY collects trash and recycling from residential buildings, more than 90 different private carters crisscross the city each night to service the city’s 100,000 commercial businesses, driving long, overlapping and unsafe routes. This plan, created through extensive stakeholder engagement, will bring comprehensive reform to the commercial waste industry.
The plan will divide the city into 20 zones, each served by three to five carters selected through a competitive process. This approach will reduce truck traffic associated with commercial waste collection by more than 60 percent, or more than 18 million miles per year, while strengthening service standards and allowing for customer choice. In addition, commercial waste zones will create a new regulatory framework that allows the City to achieve several additional program goals:
Zero Waste: Reduce commercial waste disposal and incentivize recycling
Environmental Health: Reduce truck traffic throughout the city to reduce air pollution and improve quality of life
Pricing: Provide fair, transparent pricing with low prices for businesses
Customer Service: Strengthen customer service standards and establish accountability
Health and Safety: Improve training and safety standards to make the industry safer for workers and the public
Labor and Worker Rights: Improve industry labor standards and uphold worker rights
Infrastructure and Waste Management: Prioritize investments in clean, modern fleets and facilities that make up a reliable, resilient, and sustainable waste management system
Robust, Competitive Industry: Create a system that works for carters of all sizes and prevents overreliance on any single company
