Bill > S08821

This bill prohibits the New York City Department of Sanitation from issuing violations, also known as tickets, to residents for putting out trash or recycling too early for collection on Fridays, specifically after 3:00 p.m. This prohibition applies in areas where the community board has requested earlier Friday set-out times for solid waste or recyclable materials, and the department must implement these requests within thirty days of a resolution being adopted. The bill clarifies that this change does not affect the department's ability to create rules about how trash and recycling should be set out for collection, but it specifically shields residents from tickets for early set-out on these designated Fridays.
