The council member asks about the city's plan to monitor and enforce compliance with the fee structure for waste hauling services within the zones, and the penalties for noncompliance. The commissioner explains that the overhaul requires written service agreements between haulers and customers, which was not common previously.
- The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will collect data from haulers, including GPS tracking, complaints, and violations, to aid enforcement efforts.
- Haulers are subject to audits by DSNY, which is building an audit team within the Bureau of Commercial Waste.
- Written service agreements must include provisions established in the city's request for proposals (RFP).

The first thing that I'll point out is that now haulers are required to have written service agreements with every customer.

In in today's world, too many of these agreements are not written.

So we get all of the benefits associated with written service agreements.

That must require the provisions that we established in our RFP.

We're also going to be collecting a huge amount of data from each Carter, everything from GPS tracking to complaints and violations, and that sort of information, which will very much help our enforcement efforts And each Carter in their contract is now subject to an audit by DSNY and we are building out a robust audit team within our Bureau of Commercial Waste to hit the ground running.
