    In an effort to get literal bags of trash off the street, New York is starting a "Trash Revolution" with trash bins.

    Starting this fall, apartment buildings with one to nine units are required to use the NYC Bin.

    We're taking MORE trash bags off sidewalks!

    Apartment buildings with 1-9 units will start using the official NYC Bin this fall. We're locking up the rat buffet and keeping streets clean!

    Mayor Eric Adams debuted the master plan by wheeling out a garbage can to the tune of "Empire State of Mind." He then demonstrated how to use it.
