NYC: New Recycling Rules Could Mean Higher Costs for Businesses
New commercial recycling rules that took effect July 19 in New York City require all businesses to separate paper, metal, glass and plastic containers from refuse.
A new report, “Reforming for a Better Deal: How to Align Cost Savings, Sustainability and Stability in NYC’s Commercial Waste System” TransformDontTrashNYC.org from the Transform Don’t Trash NYC coalition, finds that small businesses will be overcharged to comply with the latest recycling regulations unless the city takes action.
