Your business may be required to comply with NYC’s Commercial Organics Law (Local Law 146). The law requires some businesses to separate their organic waste (food scraps, food-soiled paper, and plant waste) from the rest of their waste. Establishments that may be required to comply include:
- Food Service Establishments
- Retail Food Stores
- Food Preparation Locations
- Catering Establishments
- Temporary Public Events
- Arenas & Stadiums
- Food Manufacturers
- Food Wholesalers
Action offers organics recycling to all businesses looking to improve their diversion rates.
