A new report by Transform Don’t Trash NYC argues the cost of delayed reform can be seen in the tally of injuries and deaths tied to the commercial waste industry.

As New York City slowly implements a long-delayed reform of the private waste hauling industry, pedestrians and workers keep getting injured or killed at an alarming rate, according to a new report.

Safety violations are still widespread among fleets of trucks owned by companies awarded spots in the new zones, according to the report, which found 103 injuries and three deaths involving those companies. The report analyzed data generated by the U.S. Department of Transportation from June 2022 to June 2024.

The deaths include that of a 35-year-old man in the West Village who was run over by a commercial waste driver who threw his truck in reverse on a one-way street in May 2024. An NYPD spokesperson said police have made no arrests in connection with the crash. The truck was owned by Liberty Ashes, which was awarded a coveted spot to collect commercial waste in Southeast Queens. The company did not return a phone call.

Sanitation department spokesperson Vincent Gragnani said a timeline for the full rollout of the commercial waste zone plan will be revealed once the first zone in Queens is fully implemented.
