Description

In 1989, in response to New York Citys mounting solid waste crisis and dwindling landfill space, the New York City Council enacted Local Law 19, the New York City Recycling Law (Administrative Code of City of NY Â§ 16-301 et seq.). Local Law 19 generally requires the Department of Sanitation to establish a comprehensive recycling program for the City of New York and authorizes the promulgation of regulations to implement that program. The implementation of Local Law 19 coincided with a fiscal crisis in the City, resulting in reduced budget appropriations for the program for fiscal year 1991. Although the Mayor initially proposed to eliminate all recycling funds for fiscal year 1992, after protracted negotiations with the City Council, funding for the program was restored, although at a reduced level.
