Get an Authorized Waste Hauler

New Waste Regulations are Mandatory!

It's crucial for businesses to partner with authorized waste haulers, or the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will assign one to you.

Stay informed on hauler changes

DSNY will manage zoning and notify businesses when they need to switch to a new hauler. We look forward to serving you! Please check back often as we will be updating our website with specific information as more zones are announced.

Royal Waste is authorized to operate in the Commercial Waste Zones, ensuring you stay compliant.
