The Adams Administration is committed to getting trash bags off the street, bringing our city in line with other global leaders who have moved their waste into containers.
Between residential and commercial containerization rules, 70% of the city’s trash is now required to be in containers. By moving the black bags off the streets and into sealed, rodent-proof receptacles, we are reclaiming public spaces, cutting off the 24-hour rat buffet, and improving quality of life for all New Yorkers.
