Starts next spring if approved. That’s a little late in my opinion.

Under the new rules, trash from residential and commercial buildings can’t be placed on curbs until 8 p.m. — pushed back from the current 4 p.m. start time, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to preempt an afternoon announcement from Adams and his sanitation commissioner, Jessica Tisch. There will also be new regulations related to how trash must be containerized, as well as a new fining system.
The new trash timetable, which is not expected to take effect until next year, aims to nip the problem in the bud by keeping garbage bags off sidewalks during the hours when many New Yorkers are on their way home from work.
This is how a lot of cities operate rather than letting mounds of trash just sit there for a while. I think this is part of making the city slightly less gross and I think it's a step in the right direction, but there's a lot more that needs to be done.

DSNY sometimes doesn’t pick up until the evening/night of the pickup day so unless they fix that there won’t be much of an effect. In my neighborhood that is especially the case with recycling. We put out recycling on Wednesday afternoon/evening and it usually sits there until late on Thursday night or early Friday morning especially during the winter. I can’t count the number of times someone else’s recycling has blown onto my property or in front of my home after sitting outside for 30 hours during the winds of winter.
I've never seen the DSNY on Staten Island issue a homeowner a ticket for putting out trash before 4pm. And I didn't see it living in Brooklyn for 30 years either. But 8pm is too late for outer-boro neighborhoods of 1 and 2 family homes. 6pm is a good compromise time for those neighborhoods.
This will be fun for buildings with a 9-5 superintendent that does not live on site.
It will force building owners to pay a few hours overtime 2x or 3x a week. Or stagger working hours.
