Sanchez asks whether DSNY has partnered with other agencies or organizations to host battery disposal events for delivery workers. Anderson says DSNY participates in a micromobility working group with DOT, DCWP, FDNY, and NYPD that addresses safe disposal.

Justin E. Sanchez

And speaking of FTNY, we're curious, outside of FTNY, has GSNY partnered with any other agency or organization to host events for like deliveristas, for example, looking to safely dispose of their micromobility batteries?

Gregory Anderson

Yeah, so sanitation is part of a micromobility working group that includes many agencies, including the Department of Transportation, Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, FDNY, NYPD,

focused on a range of issues around micromobility devices and third-party delivery.

Gregory Anderson

So, yes, that conversation is certainly a part of that work.

And I know when DOT and DCWP are doing some of their outreach to the delivery stick community and to the third-party delivery apps that they're raising the safety and safe disposal issues there as well.
