Commercial Waste Zones (CWZ) General Information Session for BIDs

While we collect trash, recycling, and compostable material from residents, businesses are required to hire private carters to collect their waste.

Following significant planning, analysis, and contract development, we are overhauling the City's commercial waste industry mandated under Local Law 199 of 2019 to make our City cleaner and safer.

Commercial Waste Zones (CWZ) creates a regulatory framework that establishes new safety standards for workers in the commercial carting industry, improving service for businesses, and reducing harmful emissions from waste hauling vehicles.

All businesses in Brooklyn South and Queens Northeast MUST enter into a contract with an authorized private carter BEFORE 2/28/26. Attend this information session to learn more about the program.
