NYC Department of Sanitation Launches New Website
|
| The NYC Department of Sanitation has launched a new website: www.nyc.gov/dsny, which combines the separate DSNY and NYC Recycles websites into one comprehensive resource to meet the City’s goals of a fast, direct, and helpful site. It’s now mobile-friendly (as is our newsletter!), so you can access information on-the-go. Be sure to check back, as we are updating and adding new content in phases.
NYC Recycles
The new site has three main sections for recycling information: Residents, Schools, and Businesses. Everything you need to know about recycling can be found at: www.nyc.gov/recycle.
Resources
Check out the Resources section to learn about recycling programs for apartment buildings, including e‑cycleNYC and re-fashioNYC, which provide free and convenient electronics and textile recycling collection.
Compost and Organic Waste Collection
Whether you’re in our NYC Organics Collection pilot, or want to compost at home or in your community, get information here: www.nyc.gov/compost.
Snow
Curious about the City’s snow removal? We’ve got a section for that, too, under Streets and Sidewalks.
