Upper Manhattan is set to roll out new anti-rat trash bins, dubbed 'Empire Bins', aimed at curbing rodent populations. However, local residents have expressed dissatisfaction with the bins' futuristic appearance, claiming they clash with the neighborhood's aesthetic. Scheduled for a broader implementation starting June 1, 2025, these locked bins will primarily serve residential buildings with 10 or more units. City sanitation officials defend the bins as essential for improving waste management, despite the community pushback regarding their design and appropriateness for the area.
They look futuristic, you know, the shape of them. It looks like a robot sitting there with two arms sticking out.
Putting these things here that are not vibing with the neighborhood - It's not the right fit.
