NYC Considering Bill Requiring Curbside EPS Container Recycling

New York City is reportedly considering a bill that would require curbside recycling of expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) containers. The city’s Sanitation Department is currently under a court mandate to develop a plan to collect and clean EPS containers. New York City previously attempted to ban EPS containers in 2013, but a court invalidated the prohibition after a challenge by several food companies, supermarkets and foodservice businesses. Additional details on the decision and the city’s appeal appear in Issues 579 and 583 of this Update. See Huffington Post, May 4, 2017; New York Post, May 7, 2017.
