Mayor Eric Adams has targeted New York City's rat population as a key agenda, forming anti-rat initiatives and deploying over a thousand trash containers in Harlem. However, he opted not to approve a plan that would have provided free garbage bins to homeowners enrolled in the STAR program, compelling the City Council to handle the estimated $14.5 million expense. Adams believes some homeowners should purchase their own bins, which reflects a contrast to his initiatives against rats and may impact middle-class taxpayers.
