Recycling Programs

 

NYC recycling regulations depend on the type of collection service you receive for your trash:

If your trash is collected by the NYC Department of Sanitation, see What to Recycle with Sanitatio.

If your trash is collected by a private carter, see Recycling in Business.

Private residences, nonprofit institutions, and professional offices in residential buildings can request NYC Department of Sanitation collection.
