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:
- Place the trash in a secure container at the curb after 6 PM and no later than 12 AM.
- 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.
