VisitNYC Installs 'Pizza Box-Only' Bins in Parks to Combat Litter and Rats
Aug 30, 2024, 03:58 PM

The initiative aims to address the litter problem caused by the large footprint of pizza boxes, which often clog traditional trashcans, leading to trash pile-up. These specialized bins will facilitate easier disposal of pizza boxes for park visitors and enhance the efficiency of park maintenance. The move is part of the city's broader efforts to maintain cleaner and greener public spaces.
