""In the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, no New Yorker should have their sidewalks covered in garbage. By finishing the job on containerization, we will ensure New York City's streets remain the envy of the world.""
""The program will modernize sanitation and dramatically improve street cleanliness, leading to fewer leaking bags and fewer sidewalk obstacle courses for pedestrians.""
New York City is introducing 'Empire Bins', large curbside trash containers, to replace garbage bags and improve sanitation. The initiative will convert over 6,500 parking spaces across all five boroughs. Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that the goal is to complete citywide containerization by 2031. The bins will be accessed by building managers and emptied by specialized trucks. By 2027, at least one community district in each borough will be fully containerized, enhancing street cleanliness and reducing issues with rats.
