The new pizza trash cans initiative is designed to reduce trash overflow in parks and help deter rodents by providing dedicated bins for empty pizza boxes.
Five parks across New York City will host these specially designed bins that mimic the iconic red-and-white checkered tablecloths of pizzerias, appealing to local residents.
This program follows a successful pilot in Central Park, where there was a noticeable decrease in clogged trash bins and an uptick in recycled cardboard.
The initiative requires that pizza boxes be emptied of food waste, encouraging park-goers to take leftover scraps home or dispose of them properly.
