Sanchez asks about enclosed transfer stations and compliance monitoring
Sanchez asks whether DSNY has considered requiring waste transfer stations in designated districts to be enclosed. Anderson says putrescible stations must already be enclosed, non-putrescible stations are not, and DSNY monitors compliance through quarterly reports and inspections.
Has the department considered requiring that waste transfer stations located within the four designated CDs be enclosed?
That's certainly something we've talked about before.
All putrescible transfer stations are required to be enclosed today.
That's a requirement under the state regulatory scheme.
Non-putrescible transfer stations are not required to be enclosed.
I think as we, and we've talked, I think, a bit before about...
Taking a more comprehensive look at the construction and demolition industry generally and ways to improve recycling, ways to improve deconstruction rather than demolition.
I think looking at those facilities and impact that they have on the surrounding community is a great thing to add to that.
That examination.
Does the department monitor compliance with waste equity law via the quarterly private waste station reports that DSNY receives pursuant to local law 40 of 1990?
Yes, we do.
Great.
And then in 2024, the department released a chart detailing the percentage of existing lawfully operating transfer stations in New York City by CD.
Today, what is the breakdown citywide?
Do we have that?
I don't have that specific report in front of me.
We release that report every year.
