DSNY opposes Intro 367 on commercial waste at city transfer stations
Anderson states DSNY opposes Intro 367 as written but has committed conceptually to accepting commercial waste at marine and rail transfer stations in both the 2006 and 2026 solid waste management plans. He says the department plans to begin this process after full CWZ implementation by end of 2027.
Intro 367, sponsored by Councilmember Nurse, would require sanitation to accept commercial waste at our city's transfer stations.
And while we oppose the bill as it is written, we have said previously and committed conceptually to the acceptance of commercial waste at our transfer stations in both the 2006 final and 2026 draft solid waste management plans.
And the permits for these facilities do allow them to accept commercial waste today.
As we said at the swamp hearing in the beginning of April, we plan to begin this process after we finish the complete citywide implementation of commercial waste zones by the end of 2027.
And we look forward to continuing these conversations as we approach that date next year.
