NYC Mayor Adams Unveils Mandatory Trash Bins for Small Residential Buildings Starting November 12
Jul 8, 2024, 07:05 PM
Mayor Eric Adams has introduced New York City's first official trash bin, marking a significant change in the city's waste management practices. Starting November 12, buildings with 1 to 9 residential units will be required to use these bins instead of loose garbage bags. This initiative, termed the 'Trash Revolution,' aims to reduce the amount of trash on sidewalks and combat the city's rat problem. The bins will eventually be mandatory for all small residential buildings by June 2026. The bins are priced at $50 each, and the initiative is part of a broader effort to clean up the city's streets. The announcement was made at Gracie Mansion with Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch, showcasing how the bins will replace black bags on the streets.
