Although we do not collect commercial waste, we create policies governing when, where, and how NYC businesses separate and set out their waste, and we enforce those policies.
All businesses in NYC must hire a private carter licensed with the Business Integrity Commission (BIC) for the collection of trade waste.
We provide educational materials and trainings to assist businesses in meeting recycling and organics requirements, preventing waste, and avoiding common violations.
Download and print free educational materials for your business in multiple languages. Materials include official notices, brochures, sample signs, labels, and guidebooks.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that any signs and labels you download or print accurately reflect your business' recycling/organics separation and collection program. We encourage businesses to create their own signs and labels for their specific needs.
