The ambitious sanitation commissioner wants to make heaping piles of hot garbage a thing of the past.
I want to read you a quote from athat came out in March of last year: “In conversations with policy experts, architects, elected officials, and former city workers, one word came up repeatedly to describe the city’s relationship with garbage — inertia. The greatest and richest city in the world is being embarrassed by other municipalities when it comes to nearly every facet of how we generate, sort, store and recycle more than 12,000 tons of waste every day.
When Mayor Adams came in, he was very clear with all of us that he wanted to take a one-city approach. What I have seen and felt over the past year that I’ve been working in this administration is a very different paradigm vis-a-vis how agencies work together. And I’ll give you a few examples. Though I was in a cab to JFK the other day and noticed lots of trash in green spaces and everywhere else along the route.
I was going to get to that. If you visit London or Tokyo or any other big, wealthy city, it’s always so much cleaner than here. It’s actually difficult to find a trash can in London, yet there’s almost no litter around, at least in my experience. And I don’t think that’s solely because of municipal policy. I think it’s a cultural thing, and I’m not sure how you change that.
Right, the department moved the earliest time you can take out your trash as a resident from 4pm to 8 pm. What kind of difference has that made?
