Announcing the Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens Solid Waste Advisory Boards’ (SWABs) Public Hearing on Title 33 , Extended Producer Responsibility included in Governor Hochul’s proposed Fiscal Year 2023 Executive Budget.
If enacted, Title 33 would have a profound impact on the waste collection, packaging and recycling infrastructure, as well as on consumers in both the State and the City of New York.
