Green Cart Applications
2008 May 29
Vendors interested in operating one of New York City’s new Green Carts have the opportunity to apply now! All applications must be postmarked no later than June 18, 2008. This year’s 500 permits are now up for grabs. Another 500 permits will be available in 2009.
Green Carts are mobile food carts that sell only raw fruits and vegetables – such as whole carrots, bananas, apples and berries – in parts of the City where consumption of fruits and vegetables is lowest. Each Green Cart permit allows a cart to operate in selected areas of one borough only.
To operate a Green Cart, a valid mobile food vending license and a Green Cart permit are required. The license covers the operator and the permit covers the cart. The license is the same one needed to operate any mobile food cart, and the vendor must apply for one before applying for a permit.
