Rat sightings have fallen in 12 of the last 13 months compared to the year prior. The Hamilton Heights residential containerization pilot zone saw a drastic 55% decrease.
The decline in rat sightings is attributed to significant changes in waste management practices, including adjusted set-out times, incentivization of containerization, and revised DSNY operations.
Containerization requirements for food-related businesses and the implementation of pilot containers have been key strategies in reducing rat-attracting trash, leading to a historic decrease in reported rat sightings.
