Bill > A00201

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City to modify how notices of violation for solid waste recycling laws are issued. Specifically, the bill requires that when the Department of Sanitation issues a ticket for a recycling violation, the ticket must be accompanied by a photograph documenting the alleged violation. This photograph must be taken by a sanitation department member and must be stamped with the date, time, and location of the violation. The photograph will be mailed along with the ticket to the person alleged to have committed the violation. The purpose appears to be to provide more transparency and evidence in recycling law enforcement by giving recipients visual proof of the alleged infraction. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, meaning that the new photographic documentation requirement will be implemented right away for recycling violation notices in New York City.
