"Our 'Trash Revolution' is delivering cleaner streets, a better quality of life, and nine straight months of fewer rat sightings. The rats are losing - and Brooklyn is next,"
"As the rats crash out, we are ramping up."
"Bin by bin, we are proving the naysayers wrong and showing the world that New York City can have clean streets and sidewalks, just like cities around the world have done for decades,"
The city will install hundreds of European-style Empire Bins in Brooklyn's Community Board District 2 to containerize district waste and reduce sidewalk trash and rodents. The pilot builds on a similar containerization program launched in parts of Harlem. DSNY will begin installing stationary, on-street Empire Bins at schools in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill this fall, with plans to expand next year to all schools and high-density residential buildings. Empire Bin access will be granted to property managers via key card. Buildings with more than 30 units will receive assigned bins; buildings with 10–30 units may opt for Empire Bins or smaller wheelie bins. Nine months of declining 311 rat reports followed containerization rules for low-density housing.
