a | Rationalize Collection Schedules | |
b | Promote Equipment to Reduce the Volume of Waste | |
c | Collect Containers of Waste using Semi-Automated Trucks | |
d | Provide Neighborhood-Scale Collection | |
e | Promote Pneumatic Tube Networks |
Rationalize Collection Schedules
Modify DSNY collection schedules to minimize sidewalk obstruction; reallocate truck shifts from lower density to higher density neighborhoods
Adjust truck trips to reduce storage needs and incentivize separation of recycling and organic waste
Promote Equipment to Reduce the Volume of Waste
Promote the use of compaction equipment, such as cardboard balers, in buildings
Promote the use of on-site equipment to process food-scraps, reducing volume, weight, pests and odors
Retrofit and/or update DSNY’s fleet with mechanisms for collecting surface and submerged containers
Collect Containers of Waste Using Semi-Automated Trucks
Allocate space in the curb lane for staging wheeled containers; coordinate with parking regulations
Develop guidance for placement, types and access to roll-on roll-off (RoRo) containers
Require new buildings to be designed for containerized waste; allow central waste rooms in residential buildings
Provide Neighborhood-Scale Collection
Provide shared waste containers in the street or below the sidewalk; consider combining small retail and residential waste
Create incentives to centralize waste collection in large new developments; remove barriers to neighborhood sharing of facilities
Integrate a network of convenient drop-off sites for all recyclable waste not picked up curbside, including textiles, e-waste, and all types of organic waste
Promote PneumaticTube Networks
Pilot pneumatic tube networks and hubs; costs can be reduced by installing in or under linear transportation infrastructure
Incentivize or require the use of pneumatic waste systems in large new developments; pilot retrofits in existing housing complexes
