Brooklyn North and Upper Manhattan businesses face a November waste-contract deadline
Check your address and arrange an agreement with a zone-authorized waste carter before the phase ends.

Businesses producing commercial waste in Brooklyn North and Upper Manhattan are in the current Commercial Waste Zones sign-up phase. DSNY lists November 30, 2026 as the final implementation date and directs businesses to arrange a zone-authorized carting agreement before that date.
Check your business address in the official zone lookup, then review authorized providers and the collection services you need. If no agreement is signed by the final implementation date, DSNY says it will assign a carter and contract at the maximum allowable rate.
The phase includes Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Bushwick and Bedford Stuyvesant, alongside the listed Upper Manhattan neighborhoods. Confirm the address rather than relying on a neighborhood name. This is a deadline reminder; other zones have different rollout dates.
What to do
- Confirm the business address in the DSNY zone lookup.
- Compare authorized carters and required collection services.
- Arrange the CWZ agreement before the November 30 final implementation date.
Check the scope
- Not a citywide November deadline.
- Do not infer exact zone from borough or neighborhood alone.
- No claimed savings or guaranteed price reduction.
- The November 30 final implementation date differs from the December 1 fully implemented status.
