New rules for setting out trash begin November 2024

Attention property owners and managers: Beginning November 12, 2024, all properties with 1-9 residential units will be required to use bins (55 gallons or less), with secure lids to set out trash. You can use a compliant bin (55 gallons or less with a secure lid) that you already have, but starting June 2026, you MUST use an Official NYC Bin. The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is committed to making New York City cleaner and healthier by removing bags of trash on the street and reducing rats—improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers. The NYC Bin is the next step in New York City's plan to get black bags of garbage off the streets and make our city cleaner and safer for all New Yorkers. Order your Official NYC Bins by October 1st to comply with new rules for setting out trash! The NYC Bin is available for purchase at a significantly lower price than similar bins at retail stores, at www.bins.nyc or by calling 1-855-NYC-BINS. DSNY will retrofit or replace hundreds of collection trucks, adding mechanical tipping arms compatible with the new bins. This upgrade will speed up collection and minimize the possibility of spills that occur with manual collection. Learn more about NYC Bins.
