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.
I have and this wouldn’t bug me. Most people I know there walk or tale the subway and don’t even have cars. Whenever I went there was garbage all over the streets. I’m thinking this would be an improvement. And since the garbage is all being collected from one place now we can focus efforts in the future to making the dumpster thing look nicer.
Not being able to park there seems to be the only issue if I’m not mistaken? I’d love to know what other issues it could cause though. Maybe I’m just missing them?

I’m sorry, what’s the downside here? Why are you upset?
Have you ever been to the city?
