Tell the City Council: TRASH IS DISPOSABLE, WORKERS ARE NOT!
New York City Council
The 1,700 workers in the private waste disposal industry are critical to New York’s safety, health and economy.
As elected officials consider plans to restructure the industry, we need a solution that works for New York and doesn’t leave workers behind.
An exclusive zone system would create monopolies, feed corporate greed and force small businesses to shut their doors leaving hardworking New Yorkers out on the street.
The best plan for New York: A multi-zone system
A multi-zone system allows for multiple haulers in designated zones throughout the City.
Even with a multi-zone system, jobs will be lost. That’s why any plan passed must include a just transition for workers that requires for fair wages, benefits, and other standards.
In New York City, trash is disposable, but workers should not be. Say NO to exclusive zone system. Say YES to multi-zone system. Say YES to a just transition for workers. Help us make sure workers are not left out on the street with the trash.
Can we count on you?

In New York City, trash is disposable, but workers should not be.
The best option for New York City waste disposal: A multi-zone system that allows for multiple haulers in designated zones throughout the City. The multi-zone system was proposed based on rigorous research executed with the support of industry experts, engineers and city officials.
An exclusive zone system did not work for other cities and it will not work for New York.
No matter the plan, a just transition for workers is critical.
