We released a new report with recommendations to containerize waste as New York City explores new sanitation practices such as commercial waste zoning and mandatory bins for commercial and residential buildings citywide. We have been advocating for waste containerization since releasing the Zero Waste Design Guidelines, and provided strategies to containerize in our advocacy campaign, Put Waste To Work, which was produced in collaboration with WXY Studio. 

The report, On Containerization is based on case studies of approaches to waste management in cities throughout the world, as well as in-depth analysis of NYC buildings and streetscapes. 

We presented the report to the public in a panel discussion, “Designing Waste Containerization into Streetscapes” on October 16th at the AIANY/Center for Architecture.
