As of June 1, 2024, recycling collection for commercial businesses and multifamily properties is required for those that are not already subscribed to recycling collection services. The next phase of the URO begins implementation on Jan. 1, 2025, requiring Organics (Composting) collection for food wholesalers, distributers, manufacturers and grocery stores.
