NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Dear New Yorker:
Keeping our city clean is a top priority of my
administration. In fact, many New Yorkers believe that
a clean city is a safe city.
The Department of Sanitation plays a major role in
cleaning our city, but it is up to all of us, residents and
merchants alike, to keep the “Big Apple” shining.
The laws detailed in this digest were established to help us reach our goal. By heeding
them, you will be playing an important part in keeping our city clean and making it a place
we can all be proud to call home.
Let’s all work together to keep New York clean.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Bloomberg
Mayor
COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE
Dear New Yorker:
This booklet is a user-friendly compendium of
Sanitation and City regulations that will help all
New Yorkers better understand how to comply with the
law, avoid fines and keep their communities clean.
Although New York is the cleanest it has been in over
three decades, there is always room for improvement.
By complying with these laws and working in close partnership with the Department
of Sanitation, you can make a difference. A clean New York City is up to all of us.
Sincerely,
John J. Doherty
Commissioner
