New York City’s overhaul of its commercial waste collection program will be pushed back until the second half of 2024, delaying reform of an industry long criticized for its inefficiency and mistreatment of workers.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York City’s overhaul of its commercial waste collection program will be pushed back until the second half of 2024, Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Wednesday morning, delaying reform of an industry long criticized for its inefficiency and mistreatment of workers.
Commercial waste reform has been a long-standing battle in the city, with the groundwork for an overhaul dating back to de Blasio’s first term. Advocates have raised environmental concerns and pushed for safer conditions for workers and more traffic safety. Tisch said capping the number of haulers at three per zone would still create enough competition to offset any potential for exorbitant price increases on small businesses that receive the trash pickup.The delay did not sit well with some officials.
