The 'Trash Revolution' will transform New York City's waste management by mandating sealed containers for trash, thereby reducing visibility and combating rat issues.
The implementation of the containerization mandate will significantly decrease the number of black trash bags on curbs, helping mitigate foul odors and rat infestations.
With the city’s initiatives, officials report record-breaking reductions in rat sightings, aiming for 70% of trash to be placed in sealed bins.
Assistant Director Antonio Whitaker has been actively engaging with communities to explain the new sanitation initiatives and gather feedback ahead of the changes.
