Violators will receive written warnings after a one-month grace period, officials said. But eventually the agency plans to start issuing fines to scofflaws: $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second offense and $200 for any further offenses.
Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donationsof New York before 8 p.m. starting Saturday under new sanitation department rules that aim to fight the city’s rat infestation and festering garbage mountains.
There’s some leeway under the new regulations, as residents who have trash cans with secured lids will be permitted to put bins at the curb as early as 6 p.m. on collection days. And owners of businesses that close before 8 p.m. can put garbage cans with lids on sidewalks up to an hour before they shut their doors.
“From my perspective, this change in set out times is at least a decade overdue,” Sanitation Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a City Council hearing on March 16. “We New Yorkers – businesses and residences – put out about 45 million pounds of trash and recycling every day. And it sits on our curbs on every block in every neighborhood for 14 hours a day. And that is why New York City is known as ‘Trash City.
“If you're in a building and you maintain it during the day, you can place it out at the same time,” said Gestetner. “If you need to come back in the evening, or have later shifts, that obviously increases expenses.”
