What to Recycle in New York City
Recycling is the law in New York City and because it is free to residents, recycling everyday is an easy way to protect the environment and help stop global climate change. New York City provides a comprehensive and convenient curbside recycling program for its residents.
The New York City Department of Sanitation provides free weekly pickups and has a comprehensive list of recyclable materials and detailed information about recycling in New York City on the NYC Wasteless website. NYC Businesses are also required to recycle; find information about the NYC Commercial Recycling Requirements here.
