All wet debris is to be securely wrapped or bagged in small package size to fit easily into the trash chute.
Debris should be completely drip-free before it leaves the apartment and carried to the trash closet in a careful manner and in a drip-proof container; then placed fully into the trash chute so it drops into the chute for disposal.
Residents are required to follow New York City recycling regulations. Please visit the NYCWasteLess Website to learn more.
No recyclables, including but not limited to bottles and cans, shall be dropped down the chute and instead should be placed in the recycling bins on each floor. If the materials cannot fit in the recycling bins, then they should be taken down to the basement and placed neatly near the bin in the basement.

Under no circumstances should carpet sweepings containing naphthalene, camphor balls or flakes, floor scrapings, construction debris, oil soaked rags, empty paint or aerosol cans or any other inflammable, explosive, highly combustible or noxious substances be thrown into the trash chute. Instead, such items should be put into a securely tied trash bag and placed neatly near the bin in the basement.
Vacuum cleaner bags must never be emptied into the trash chute unless securely wrapped in a tied bag.
The superintendent shall be notified of any drippings, or moist refuse appearing on trash closet floor and corridors.
