Carefully place household sharps in leak-proof and puncture-resistant container labeled "Home Sharps - not for recycling". Bring to a collection center or drop-off site or discard as trash. ALL New York State hospitals and nursing homes are required by law to act as collection centers for used household sharps, including syringes and lancets, with no identification required.

Citywide DSNY frequency boundaries for collection operation (refuse, recycling, organics, bulk items). These boundaries are sub-divisions of DSNY sections.

This dataset is based on a legacy system that is no longer maintained by the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY). It contains information about the cleaning requests associated with different vacant lots.

Some current data related to vacant lots can be found in the 311 Service Requests dataset at (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Social-Services/311-Service-Requests-from-2010-to-Present/erm2-nwe9), and filtering the "Complaint Type" field for "Vacant Lot".

• Confirm that they are open and accepting food scraps.
• Review open hours listed.
• See what items are accepted.

Accepted at food scrap drop-off sites:
• Fruits, vegetables, and eggshells
• Coffee, tea, and nuts
• Dried flowers and houseplants

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) conducted the 2023 Waste Characterization Study in the Fall of 2022 and Spring of 2023. The 2023 Study determined the waste composition of several major sources from which DSNY collects: residential households, New York City Public Schools, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and on-street litter baskets. Waste from these generators was categorized into 96 main material categories, which are provided in this dataset by residential strata and time period. Results are presented in absolute terms as the quantity by weight of each material type, per stream. The quantity of each material is calculated by applying the percent composition to the total quantity of specified DSNY collections.

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) conducted the 2023 Waste Characterization Study in the Fall of 2022 and Spring of 2023. The 2023 Study determined the waste composition of several major sources from which DSNY collects: residential households, New York City Public Schools, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and on-street litter baskets. Waste from these generators was categorized into 96 main material categories. In addition to the 96 sort categories, certain material groups were further subsorted into 826 subsort categories which are provided in this dataset by residential strata and time period. Because not all the main material categories were subsorted, there are two separate datasets — one for the main sort results and one for the subsort results. Results for both datasets are presented in absolute terms as the quantity by weight of each material type, per stream. The quantity of each material is calculated by applying the percent composition to the total quantity of specified DSNY collections.

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has conducted four waste characterization studies to date: 2005, 2013, 2017, and 2023. For each study, a representative sample of waste is sorted into distinct material categories and aggregated into statistically significant data on the composition of the City's discards. This dataset contains the change in the composition of the City's waste streams across all four studies.
