West Harlem's Community Board 9 has achieved a significant milestone by becoming New York City's first neighborhood to fully adopt trash containerization for waste management. This initiative, part of a broader effort to combat the city's rat problem, replaces traditional sidewalk trash bags with designated Empire bins. Mayor Eric Adams highlighted this achievement during a press conference, emphasizing the city's commitment to cleaner streets and a reduction in vermin. The success of this pilot program may influence all 59 community boards in NYC to adopt similar measures in the near future.
'Our Empire bins are striking back at rats and garbage in West Harlem...cleaner streets and fewer vermins,' said Mayor Eric Adams, highlighting the success of containerization.
As Community Board 9 becomes 100% containerized, each of NYC's 59 community boards will soon embrace this initiative, marking a significant change in waste management.
