No. 842\n\nBy the Speaker (Council Member Vallone), Council Members Michels, Robles, Fisher, Rodriguez, DiBrienza, Boyland, Carrion, Fiala, Marshall, Provenzano, Quinn, Oddo, Clarke, Dear, Malave-Dilan, Eisland, Espada, Foster, Linares, Moskowitz, Nelson, O'Donovan, Pinkett, Abel, Golden, Stabile and Ognibene (in conjunction with the Mayor)\n\nA Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring a comprehensive study of the commercial solid waste management system within New York city.\n\nBe it enacted by the Council as follows:\n\nSection 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. The legislatively mandated closure of the Fresh Kills Landfill by January 1, 2002 opens a new era in solid waste management in New York City and affords an opportunity to reexamine all aspects of how solid waste is managed, including that generated by the commercial sector. Moreover, New York City must now begin development of its next Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan.\n\nUntil the late 1980s, private carters paid a tipping fee to dispose of solid waste in the City's Fresh Kills landfill. In 1988, the tipping fee was raised to discourage private carters from using the Fresh Kills landfill in order to extend the landfill's useful life. This resulted in increased amounts of solid waste being sent to private transfer stations in New York City and the region.\n\nSolid waste transfer stations and the trucks transporting waste to and from those facilities may generate such problems as dust, debris, noise, odors, air pollutants, vermin and traffic congestion. The Council is concerned that transfer stations and private carters in New York City may need more regulation in order to protect the communities in which they are located and conduct business and to ensure effective enforcement of the rules governing their operation.\n\nThe Council finds that a comprehensive study of the commercial solid waste management system within the City of New York is critical in order to enable the City to assess and plan for management of both the residential and commercial waste streams in the most efficient manner, to minimize the potential adverse impacts on the City's residential and business communities and the environment, and to assist in developing a new comprehensive solid waste management plan.\n\n* * *\n\n[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]\n\n* * *\n\n§ 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","2000"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"c07ca1ec472e25a378ec9226ab869d148fc44c324ace03a07b62d3042b0e437e","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2000-072","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2001-001"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
