Hotels dispose of many reusable items that would benefit the local community.  Items kept out of the landfills also save money on disposal and benefit our environment.

Some of the readily accepted items generated in the hospitality industry include but not limited to:

  • Office and art supplies
  • Furniture and appliances
  • Glass and building products
  • Books, media and electronics
  • Housewares containers and packaging
  • Textiles and clothing

For surplus food, in addition to City Harvest, numerous other food pantries and missions accept and pick up food from restaurants and hotels.  Search and connect here to reduce food waste and reduce your hauling costs.https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/donate/giveandfind/residents/vendorslist.shtml
