Council Member Shaun Abreu inquires about the timeline for implementing future Commercial Waste Zones, and Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan explains DSNY's approach to scheduling and announcing future implementations.
- DSNY commits to completing all zone implementations by the end of 2027
- The department will announce the next zone at least six months prior to implementation
- DSNY wants to avoid premature announcements to prevent carting companies from making hasty business decisions

And regardless of the zones that follow, do you have any sense of timing on when the zones would when those next zones would be implemented regardless of the area or

Well the schedule kind of lays it out and like I said I think once we get close once we get closer to finally implementing the Bronx we'll obviously announce the next zone six months prior you know to actually rolling out and I think by then we'll probably have a regular cadence on announcing the zones and we'll you know we'll have that.

But again we're committed to completing it by the end of twenty twenty seven so there's there's only so much time that we have in between then right.

Is it fair to do like how many how many divide months by number of zones and that would be the projected timeline?

I mean you could do that I just would advise not to because I don't want any Qatar prematurely you know either making investments or ramping up or scaling down on you know staffing so that's why I didn't want to put dates in there but I think once we get through the Bronx we'll we'll have a better sense of that.
