The New York City Department of Sanitation has introduced new "Empire Bins" in Harlem designed for shared use by residents but accessible only to authorized personnel. These bins will be emptied by specialized trucks, reflecting efforts to combat rodent infestations. However, community responses are mixed; while some express concerns that the bins might lead to reduced street parking and be misused, others appreciate the initiative as an improvement over the current trash situation. Overall, the bins are seen as a commendable step towards cleaner streets despite some skepticism from residents.
The new models are also designed to be emptied by a new fleet of garbage trucks that can lift containers from the side rather than the rear.
These will be used as an excuse to further push out street parking; if these are any form of plastic, rats will eat through it quickly.
Just wait until they are used as homeless shelters and bathrooms.
The system right now is leaving the bags on the sidewalk. Nothing can be worse than status quo.
