“#NYC moves ahead with trash collection overhaul<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

New York City is finally moving ahead with plans to overhaul the deadly commercial waste collection industry after months of delays due to COVID-19, officials said Friday.<\/p>\n

The revamp app<\/a>roved by the City Council in 2019 will shift commercial trash collection to a zone-based system, cutting truck traffic in half, according to proponents.<\/p>\n

Carting companies can submit applications to serve specific zones as of Friday, the Department of Sanitation said in a statement. Responses are due in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe City\u2019s Commercial Waste Zones program will fundamentally change the way the commercial waste hauling industry operates here,\u201d said Noah Genel of the Business Integrity Commission, which regulates the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will lead to far fewer truck miles travel<\/a>ed in New York City.\u00a0That means safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike, along with cleaner air for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of 20 designated zones, which will each be served by three companies, the city is taking bids for five citywide containerized\u00a0collection contracts, officials said.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s existing carting regime is a free-for-all system that lets companies pick up trash all over the city. That forces drivers on long shifts, which in turn leads to dangerous driving.<\/p>\n

Private trash trucks were involved in 43 traffic deaths between 2010 and 2017, according to city data. Momentum for reform surged after Sean Spence, a driver for Sanitation Salvage, ran over two pedestrians in the span of six months in 2017 and 2018. <\/p>\n

One of the victims was Mouctar Diallo, who Spence initially claimed was a panhandler who had jumped in front of the truck.<\/p>\n

Sanitation Salvage closed up shop in late 2018 after an investigation by the BIC.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
