New York Bans Small Plastic Toiletry Bottles

Exciting news! New York is the second state, after California, to ban small toiletry bottles (12 ounces and less) from hotels. Bills S543 and A5082—led by State Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Steve Englebright — were passed in April. Hotels with more than 50 rooms have until January 1, 2024, to comply. Smaller hotels have until January 1, 2025.
