    DSNY supports the goal of textile waste diversion but believes the study mandated by Intro 256 is unnecessary at this time. The department is already studying textile diversion options and has a successful voluntary program in place.

    • DSNY is studying textile diversion as part of their solid waste management plan due in 2026
    • The department operates a voluntary textile recycling program called refashion NYC
    • Businesses with more than 10% textile waste are already required to recycle them
