The contractual fees will be set at the maximum rate that waste hauling companies (referred to as 'Carters') are allowed to charge, but businesses are encouraged to negotiate lower prices with each Carter in their zone.
- The NYC Department of Sanitation will publish an online rate calculator tool that allows business owners to see the maximum rate for each Carter in their zone based on selected services.
- The rates are determined based on the waste stream, type of service (e.g. curbside or off-street containers), the amount of waste collected per month, and frequency of collection.
- Additional fees may apply for services like late payment fees, container cleaning, or compacting.
