Solid Waste Management Plan

NYC has been planning for the long-term management of its solid waste for over a century. This planning is critical to keeping the City clean and materials moving.

DSNY began submitting Solid Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 1992. The initial plan focused on the longevity of Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. With the landfill's closure in 2001, the plan evolved to focus on transporting NYC's refuse to new end destinations.

Both the 1992 and 2006 plan included significant commitments around waste reduction and recycling including yard and food (organic) wastes. Our planning has helped reduce the total waste generation (tonnage per capita) over the last 20 years, despite a growing population and the proliferation of disposable/single use products and electronics.

SWMP 2026

We are currently working on the updated SWMP. This process includes opportunities for the public to comment and provide input. Check back here soon for updates as the plan advances.
