New York City has launched an initiative in Harlem to completely transition to secure trash bins as part of Mayor Eric Adams' 'trash revolution.' This innovative program aims to contain waste, replacing scattered garbage bags with secure bins, with positive initial results in cleanliness and rodent control. Local sanitation workers have experienced notable changes in their routines, as they adapt to using advanced trucks designed for this new system. Although some residents have raised concerns about parking, the city maintains that only 4% of available spots have been affected, while cleanliness has improved significantly.
The rollout has been fully implemented for the first time in Harlem, making it part of New York City's storied trash history.
Adams stated, 'As a result of our efforts, we now have a fully containerized neighborhood in Harlem - the first in North America - and have seen six straight months of fewer rat sightings.'
