DSNY Waste Characterization 2023 - Main Sort Results

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) conducted the 2023 Waste Characterization Study in the Fall of 2022 and Spring of 2023. The 2023 Study determined the waste composition of several major sources from which DSNY collects: residential households, New York City Public Schools, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and on-street litter baskets. Waste from these generators was categorized into 96 main material categories, which are provided in this dataset by residential strata and time period. Results are presented in absolute terms as the quantity by weight of each material type, per stream. The quantity of each material is calculated by applying the percent composition to the total quantity of specified DSNY collections.

纽约市环境卫生局（DSNY）于2022年秋季及2023年春季实施了2023年度废物特性研究。本年度研究确定了DSNY所收集的几个主要来源的废物组成，包括住宅家庭、纽约市公立学校、纽约市住房管理局（NYCHA）以及街边的垃圾箱。来自这些废物产生源的废物被划分为96个主要材料类别，这些类别按照住宅层级和时间段提供在本数据集中。结果以绝对值形式呈现，即每种材料类型的重量数量，按废物流计算。每种材料的数量通过将百分比组成应用于指定的DSNY收集总量来计算。
