OK, this was really shortsighted of the Adams administration when they started requiring trash bins. They should’ve required that they be kept near the buildings where they already were collecting trash and they should have started rolling out a wheelie bin program for trash bins to be distributed throughout the city over the next couple of years from when the requirement began.

But administrations shifted and the cost burden didn’t want to get picked up by the new administration… The whole program was handled very poorly, and this is what we get.

This is yet another opportunity for Mamdani to step up and do something good, but the solution isn’t very clear cut at all, and no matter what he comes up with, some group of people is gonna be upset by it. This is a real mess.
