Later trash times, when streets and sidewalks are emptier, will theoretically limit the hours that mountains of black bags line the roads and walkways.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Many New Yorkers will have to wait until 8 p.m. to put their trash out on the street under a new proposal from the Adams administration, in a bid to reduce the amount of time the city’s mountains of garbage bags languish on the street before pickup.
The proposal, which would require approval from the City Council, would allow residents to put out trash in containers with lids starting at 6 p.m. but bagged trash will not be allowed until 8 p.m. – four hours later than the current policy allowing trash to be set out at 4 p.m. “It made no sense that these garbage bags have remained on the street for such a long period of time,” Adams said at the press conference. “They have become open season for rodents going into these bags, creating a real health problem in our city.”
The new policy was introduced in a bill by Council member Shaun Abreu with a public hearing scheduled for November 10th.
