Rollout Schedule and Info Sessions
Under Commercial Waste Zones (CWZ), anyone who currently has their waste collected by a private carter must sign a new written service agreement (contract), with one of the carters authorized in their zone.
Once your zone's rollout/customer sign-up period begins, you MUST sign a new contract with a zone-authorized carter. The new contract must have a start date that is on or after your zone's implementation start date.
If you HAVE NOT signed a new contract by your zone's final implementation date, you WILL BE ASSIGNED a zone-authorized carter by DSNY at the maximum allowable rate.
Learn more about CWZ implementation timeline and cohorts.
IMPORTANT: New maximum rates for individual zones are only effective after each zone begins to rollout and as businesses sign new written contracts. Businesses may not sign a new CWZ contract until their specific zone begins to rollout.
Phase 2: Bronx East and West
Phase 2 of the CWZ rollout includes Bronx East and Bronx West.
The sign-up period for ALL businesses in the Bronx began on October 1, 2025.
All businesses in the Bronx MUST enter into a contract with a zone-authorized private carter BEFORE November 30, 2025, or they will be assigned a carter at the maximum allowable rate.
