Recycling is now mandatory at all New York City street events.

A Local Law was introduced by the New York City Council to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to street cleaning and the collection and removal of solid waste and recyclable materials at street events. A copy of the law can be found here. If you have questions please visit the New York City Department of Sanitation's NYC Wasteless website or contact our Event Recycling Coordinator.

If you are involved in planning an event please contact our event recycling coordinator for more information about creating a waste reduction and recycling plan for your event. If you are an event producer or are involved in planning a large community event we may be able to assist you in your waste reduction and recycling collection efforts. We can provide guidelines for event producers and vendors, offer trainings for recycling volunteers, and help to publicize and monitor the collection of recyclables at your event.
