Unsightly bags of trash have long been an eyesore cluttering New York City streets, but a new pilot program could be the solution.
NEW YORK CITY -- Unsightly bags of trash have long been an eyesore cluttering New York City streets, and on Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch announce the first containerized waste bins to alleviate the issue.
"Environmental justice begins at the street level, and it starts now," Adams said."Clean streets are vital to vibrant neighborhoods and to New York City's economic comeback. We need to stop dodging black garbage bags and instead fund and test container models throughout the city that will make our streets cleaner and more inviting for both New Yorkers and visitors."
Currently, many litter baskets are cared for by the local association, which monitors litter baskets, and, when full, places bags next to baskets for collection, increasing capacity for the litter baskets but at the same time making trash accessible to rodents.
