BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you're planning a trip for 2025, you may need to pack more for your hotel stay next year - than you did this summer vacation.
Starting in January, hotels in New York state with more than 50 rooms will no longer be able to provide small bottles containing 'hospitality care' products.
It's a new state law to help reduce waste. Small bottles refer to any bottle under 12 ounces.
According to the bill, "'hospitality personal care product' means a product provided by a hotel and intended to be applied to or used on the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, conditioning, or moisturizing. Hospitality personal care product includes, but is not limited to, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and liquid soap."
Beginning in 2026, all hotels in New York will have to follow the small bottle ban. Many hotels have already made the switch and have mounted dispensers with shampoo and/or body wash for customers to use.
