Makes plenty of sense when you consider that all of those plastic bottles wind up in the garbage and the local taxpayer has to foot the disposal bill while out of state and out of town visitors go home without a care in the world. It'd be better to add a tax to the smaller bottles but the same people who bitch about banning them would bitch about that as well and, in the ultimate of irony, bitch about paying for the landfill.

I would imagine that new york has some type of hotel tax already that should be covering this. single use bottles have been a thing in hotels for ever. its just stupid bullshite.

Spot on. Of the things to complain about NY this is not them. The only reason for them to keep these bottles is women feeling like their high priced hotel room is worth it

Symbolism over substance. And the beat goes on……And the beat goes on……

Hotels have been moving away from those bottles for years as a cost saving measure. They have been putting refillable pump bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash on the shower walls.
Even nice hotels in Los Angelas have been doing that for 10 years. It isn't something that should require legislative action though, that is stupid.

No shite, Sherlock. Most people in hotels anywhere on earth are travelers. That’s the point of staying in a hotel. You’re traveling and need a place to stay because you’re not close to home. Do they think people stay in hotels just for the fun of it?
The only exception I can think of is when people go to a hotel to meet up with a hooker.

The wall dispensers are far superior in hotels anyways.
Plus hotels can save money with them and then donate the unused mini bottles to a homeless shelter and write it off as a charitable donation. Win/win for them.

I haven't seen a tiny shampoo bottle in a hotel in years.

Many of the recent nice hotels I have stayed in have much larger bottles, some with dispensers. I would hope that their reasoning is to make the hotels upgrade to larger bottles and not just put the responsibility on the guest.
I stayed at a 5 star hotel in Austin last year. You could tell it was run by virtue signaling people. There were so many expected amenities that were non existent. It basically felt like a two star hotel. There was no ice machine, no room service, a minimal amount of towels, and little water.
It was surreal.

Wait until they find out what the “big” bottles are made from.

Saw on the news this morning where NYC just now rolled out trash containers.
The dopey mayor is so happy he won't see trash bags on the street anymore.

I think it’s more about the insane NY lawmakers passing the ban and then later claiming that it was their policy that drove the change in hotels when hotels started the transition years before.

Dems in NY have complete control of state government so it becomes a hot house of ideological delusion.
They want to stop natural gas and convert to all electric thinking it will save money and the planet. However, electric heat and hot water in NY costs 5 or 6 times that of natural gas and almost half of the state's electric power comes from natural gas.

Every hotel I’ve stayed in for the last few years has had these.
Place was a shithole before the storm. After the storm, my company pulled tarps over the damaged roof and placed a diesel generator in the back: Presto, instant housing for 100 or so of us. Beds were crap. Ceiling leaked. Only good part was running A/C.

Some decent hotels already have built-in shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathrooms.
With no tiny bottles to steal of flush down the toilets this will probably save the hotels money in the long run.

The hotels i've stayed in now just have larger refillable dispensers. It's no big deal at all.
Edit: I didn't read the thread first.

Just because single use bottles exist there is no indication that existing hotel taxes cover the costs of disposal. It make no difference whether they do or do not it still costs something to dispose of those bottles. Banning them means the taxpayers aren't footing that bill thus the hotel tax goes further to cover the costs of governing travelers. Thats a win for the local taxpayer anyway you slice it. Some folks would bitch if you hung them with a brand new rope....
