Q&A

Sanchez questions DSNY on textile outreach and participant category breakdown

New York City Council · Sep 15, 2026 · starts 0:51:00 · 53 sec

Sanchez asks about outreach to property owners and requests a breakdown of textile waste collected by participant category. Anderson describes standard apartment building outreach covering multiple programs and says DSNY will provide the data.

Justin E. Sanchez

And what kind of outreach is done to a property owner about the existence of this program?

Gregory Anderson

So, you know, the outreach is part of our standard apartment building outreach.

Gregory Anderson

So anytime we're having conversations with multi-unit buildings, we talk to them about the textile collection program, the electronics collection program, the requirements for recycling, the requirements to have a brown bin.

Gregory Anderson

So that's all sort of part of one package of outreach that we do.

Justin E. Sanchez

Of the eligible program participant categories, so the apartment buildings with 10 plus units, office buildings, commercial industries, and schools and nonprofit institutions, can the department provide a breakdown of the amount of textile waste collected by each participant category?

Gregory Anderson

We don't have that with us today, but we can certainly dig into the data and provide you whatever we can.

Justin E. Sanchez

Awesome.
