What do I need to know about the DSNY’s new rules for trash disposal? And when do theu take effect?

Excellent question! In an effort to send the rats of NYC packing, the DSNY has established new rules for trash disposal. These rules go into effect on April 1. Here’s a quick overview of the new trash disposal rules:

For residential buildings:

1. Place the trash in a secure container at the curb after 6 PM and no later than 12 AM.
2. Place the trash directly on the curb after 8 PM and no later than 12 AM.

For commercial buildings:

Put trash bags directly on the curb after 8 PM if putting bags directly on the curb.

Place trash in a secure container one hour before closing.
