Outside the Kings Highway subway station on East 16th street and Quentin Road, outdated garbage cans consistently overflow with trash, leaving the sidewalk littered with debris. Marine Park resident Linda Camarda criticized this degraded condition as insulting given New York City's new garbage bin reforms. She emphasized, 'We're being held to a very strong standard that the city itself is not upholding.' This reflects a broader issue of city compliance with its own sanitation laws.
Hours after CBS News New York reached out to the Department of Sanitation about the overflowing trash bins, DSNY workers promptly cleaned the sidewalk and replaced the outdated baskets with rodent-resistant ones. Camarda remarked, 'They require us to be mindful and will fine us if we don't observe and comply with the trash rules, and they should be required to do the same.' This highlights the disparity in standards applied to citizens versus city properties.
