Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan explains the factors that influenced DSNY's decision to implement the Bronx East and West zones next in the Commercial Waste Zones program. The primary considerations were the existing customer base and relationships between carting companies and businesses in these zones.
- Bronx zones have one of the highest existing customer bases among remaining zones
- Many awardees already have relationships with businesses in these zones
- All but one of the carting companies already operate in Bronx East and West
- These factors are expected to minimize disruptions during the transition
