NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has proposed a rule that beginning August 1, 2025, every Business Improvement District (BID) and group that provides cleaning services on city sidewalks, streets, public plazas, curbs, or gutters will be required to keep bags of trash off the street. Groups can select a sanitation garage for bag disposal, set on-street containers, or place movable wheelie bins out for collection.
DSNY will hold a virtual public hearing on the proposed rule at 10:00 a.m. on February 10, 2025.
