Prohibits the issuance of tickets to residential occupants for certain violations of the sanitation code

Weekend trash ticket relief for residents

Effective immediately, New York City's sanitation department cannot issue violation notices, appearance tickets, or summonses for covered early trash set-outs. The protection covers residential owners, leaseholders, tenants, occupants, and people who manage or control residential buildings or dwellings. It applies to trash, solid waste, or recycling placed out too early between 3:00 p.m. Friday and 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Collection must be by the city or a private trash collector required to be licensed or registered under city law. This protection applies even when city collection rules say otherwise.
