"As commissioner, Gregory will carry forward the transformative projects he helped build, from waste containerization and curbside composting to commercial waste reform... I look forward to working with Gregory to keep pushing forward to build a cleaner, healthier and more just city for all New Yorkers."
"Under the requirements, almost all residential buildings with 31 or more units will be required to use Spanish-made "Empire Bins," which are already being serviced by a fleet of new side-loading sanitation trucks in some parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn."
Gregory Anderson, a public service veteran with over a decade of sanitation department experience and recent work as Governor Hochul's deputy director of state operations, has been appointed as New York City's new sanitation commissioner. He assumes leadership during a critical phase of the city's trash collection transformation, tasked with completing the containerization program that replaces street garbage bags with bins. Anderson must oversee the distribution of wheeled garbage bins to homeowners, enforce mandatory compost separation for residents and businesses, and manage the transition to large containers that will replace parking spaces. The City Council codified this "trash revolution" into law, establishing a 2032 deadline for full implementation. Residential buildings with 31 or more units must use Spanish-made Empire Bins serviced by new side-loading trucks, while smaller buildings use city-issued bins currently facing delivery delays.
