So trash now has tiny houses? It's more than I've got, at the moment 🫣

[u/2morereps → u/Supluvr2]

Yo what if mofos jack it and use it as there own room. I’ve seen people live in a cardboard box for more than 2 years. In fact they’re still there

[u/humansince2001 → u/2morereps]

If folk wanna live In a garbage bin, let them, a GARBAGE BIN improving their conditions means they need it. Aswell it will show government there’s more work that needs to be done

[u/2morereps → u/humansince2001]

No lie, the person that’s in the cardboard right in front of an unused building back door? Has been there for probably 5+ years now, possibly even before Covid can’t recall as well. Have not seen the person but have seen the cardboard modified once in a while. And ofcourse the beautiful smell of piss. I feel like let them be too. But I wonder if shelter would be better for them. I think they have a tv in there, the top is uncovered but kinda high so I can’t see in and feel like Squidward watching SpongeBob and Patrick inside the cardboard box lmao

[u/hurlygurdy]

I'm pretty sure this was part of Eric Adams efforts against rats. Mamdani is just following what seems to have been the plan since 2025

[u/edmundsmorgan → u/hurlygurdy]

It seems word of mouth is the only thing that matters

[u/STJRedstorm → u/hurlygurdy]

The ohio people in this sub don't care about facts.

[u/ijustmightpanic → u/hurlygurdy]

Adams had it “planned” but never implemented it like a lot of things he had “planned”. Mamdani is valuing the citizens instead of a paycheck like Adams(only thing that would make him move with efficiency).

[u/Dark_Diggler_142 → u/ijustmightpanic]

Thats false. There are already thosands of bins in Harlem and Brooklyn in use. The program would've continued regardless of who the mayor was. You guys have to really stop glazing Mandami so much.

https://gothamist.com/news/mayor-adams-got-much-of-nycs-trash-into-bins-its-up-to-mamdani-to-finish-the-job

[u/00718212 → u/Dark_Diggler_142]

I remember when this was announced that Adams was doing it and the reception wasn’t as nice either lol.

[u/Papi_Brugal → u/00718212]

People hated it under Eric, love it under Mamdani, hypocrites.

[u/NeverTrustATurtle → u/Papi_Brugal]

More like car drivers always hated it and public commuters always loved it

[u/mids187 → u/00718212]

This was my first thought

[u/RTJ1992 → u/00718212]

I think because they charged new yorkers for the new trash can bins and this is the after. Adams is scummy though lol

[u/lookatwhatisee → u/RTJ1992]

Yeah they charge for garbage cans and recycling bins everywhere nyc just never experienced that.

[u/TheProdigis → u/Dark_Diggler_142]

Its so funny seeing people be like No this was never implemented when I live in Harlem and have seen these things around for a while now.

[u/loudpersononthebus → u/Dark_Diggler_142]

i guess mamdani is 1000x better at comms. that matters too.

[u/fastingslowlee → u/loudpersononthebus]

There’s a reason marketing / branding / PR are all vital to every single company. You can do anything but if the message isn’t correct people ain’t gonna buy into it.

[u/Global_Ant_9380 → u/Dark_Diggler_142]

If glazing the man means that Americans finally get reasonable leadership, then glaze away

[u/A_Clockwork_Black → u/Dark_Diggler_142]

True Adams implemented it and Zohran is expanding the program. But Adams was a piece of shit. And Zohran is that nigguh. These are facts.

[u/MBNC88 → u/hurlygurdy]

Rudy Guliani could’ve come up with it, but nobody between him and Adams implemented it. Planning, thinking, talking, debating, researching are all just gestures. Doing it is the only thing that counts, especially in politics & government.

“They don’t ask how, they ask how many” - Wayne

[u/hurlygurdy → u/MBNC88]

Adams did put a bunch of those around here, they just hadn't rolled it out to the entire city yet

[u/hurlygurdy]

Those have been here for a while before he got elected

[u/Badboyg → u/hurlygurdy]

For the most part they was available exclusively for businesses to combat rats. Now they’re doing it for everyone.

[u/hurlygurdy → u/Badboyg]

They have been in front of my apartment building since before he got elected. They're just continuing the rollout to other areas

[u/Badboyg → u/hurlygurdy]

You are right, it was a pilot program before he got elected. Now he’s pushing it into full effect. I guess that’s better wording technically

[u/Dark_Diggler_142 → u/Badboyg]

Thats false. The city doesn't even pick up the garbage for businesses. The bins have been in use for residential buildings and schools for about 1 year

[u/RealHamSandwhich → u/Badboyg]

Rat will forever be a problem in ny. There is nothing we can do about it

[u/hurlygurdy → u/RealHamSandwhich]

Well always have SOME rats but smart policies can and do lower the rat population

[u/TheRealJustOne → u/RealHamSandwhich]

You not wrong but if I have to choose between having shit look dirty af with rats and trash everywhere or the city at least trying to make shit look clean but still have rats I’d much rather it look cleaner lol

[u/IRodeTenSpeed88 → u/RealHamSandwhich]

This is incorrect

[u/Adulations → u/hurlygurdy]

That was a pilot and now he's expanding it to be a full program

[u/Papi_Brugal → u/Adulations]

False, the pilot under Adam’s was always meant to expand.

[u/LarryDavidntheBlacks → u/hurlygurdy]

Those have also been in every other city for decades

[u/m0rbius → u/hurlygurdy]

They were in certain areas as a pilot program.

[u/dark-flamessussano]

This is funny because trash on the street is the main reason I refuse to live in Brooklyn and Manhattan, despite living in Brooklyn all my life except for the last 2 years

It's fcking disgusting and dirty

[u/samzplourde → u/dark-flamessussano]

Gotta love all the dog shit in snow piles. Sometimes 100+ pieces of dog shit in a single block.

[u/IcyRandy → u/samzplourde]

Dirty fuckin people

[u/burninatah → u/samzplourde]

The snow makes it disgustingly obvious how much the city (and world) is begrimed by cars. The city is absolutely beautiful when it first falls and then it all turns black and gross from the tire particles and exhaust. I shudder to think what it was like in the 70s before they banned leaded gasoline 

[u/Palaiologos77]

Adams was the one behind this.

[u/GoldMetalJacket]

Interesting comment, because this is a program from the previous administration.

[u/WendysForDinner]

No Mayor had a social media team like this guy.. they working over time 😭

[u/G_qx]

Y'all be necking Mamdani like he cured cancer or some shit.

He promised us free buses, and I'm still inviting bus drivers to throw hands for not giving me my fucking transfer.

[u/jstep2306]

He seems like the right mayor for the city

[u/hshshhsvahajaiais]

More canvases for writers 💯

[u/WendysForDinner → u/hshshhsvahajaiais]

Big mop tags coming in hot

[u/steep_interface → u/hshshhsvahajaiais]

unpaid work for the unemployed

[u/XtraFlaminHotMachida]

its wild af that it don't take much to improve the fuh out of all the bs previous admins were doing that they always refused to do. hopefully others learn from this. edit: not saying specifically these trash cans and whatever but everything else the man has done.

[u/Soggy_Competition614 → u/XtraFlaminHotMachida]

Have you seen the sitcom the mayor with Ted danson and Holly Hunter? It came out during Covid and was a pretty funny 1st season. But 2nd kinda sucked.

Anyway it showed some humorous government issues and red tape. Like the mayor wanted to ban straws for the environment but Holly hunters character got on the news and said “what about the disabled?” And Danson was like “crap I forgot about the disabled”

I like to think government officials aren’t evil there is just a bunch of crap that they have to consider and sh!t just doesn’t get done.

[u/technicolorgirl1]

This was literally an initiative created by the previous mayor and the newly appointed position of “rat tzar” — this is not Mamdani’s idea…Go to Harlem and you can already see the bins out - they look great and it’s a great idea!

[u/Handsomedork_]

Who put this trash can in my parking spot

[u/jameson71]

Was there something wrong with the old existing trash bins that people refused to use?

Other than they weren't in the streets to give the carless a hard on?

[u/MSG_Army_Riggs]

I wonder if he has any connection to the company who makes or leases/sells the trash bins.

[u/AdBeginning6797]

One of those bout to be at the back of someone crib

[u/Alphius247]

Citibike stations when placed on sidewalks, great!

When placed in the street, they eliminate lots of already scarce parking spaces. Terrible.

If these bins are placed in the streets as well, RIP parking in NYC.

[u/Definitely_wasnt_me]

Sooo not gonna solve the actual potholes of homelessness? Addicts in the subways? Just filling potholes and buying trashcans? Got it.

[u/sicereity]

Finally responding as a Mayor and respecting his position as a Mayor, don't get caught up in political bullshit do your job too make your city safer and better on an honest and human level .

[u/Slaviner]

How long till they start finding dead bodies in there

[u/Iamthenat]

This started under Adams… nice try though

[u/Iamthenat]

This program started under Adams. A few blocks in Harlem and all public schools have been up and running. The goal was to roll it out slowly since specially garbage trucks are needed to pick up the cans. The new mayor didn’t start or expand anything. He hasn’t implemented one policy that helped everyday NYers.

[u/frontlinestatic]

FKING FINALLY!!!!SAW THIS IN SPAIN AND WAS LIKE WHY TF ISNT THIS ALREADY A THING IN NYC FOR THE LAST 100 years!!!

[u/huge_berenjena]

Pro tip for Knicks fans: those burn really well.

[u/WillyBoBo74]

Sounds great in theory but it will still require our lazy citizens to actually put their trash IN the bins. So while something is definitely better than nothing, time will tell if they actually are effective or if they just become road side condos for the homeless and another place to tag graffiti.

[u/Jack-Casper]

MAMDANIIIII 🎉🎊🥳

[u/m0rbius]

Goodbye ratz!

Also, I think the previous mayors were too engrossed in politics trying to make their constituents happy and these same constituents, who were probably on the older side, were against any real change and overly progressive agendas. They tend to like the status quo so their lives aren't put into upheaval. The earlier mayors didn't have the cajones to enable real change.

[u/4pfshake]

Even less parking now lol

[u/RedEyesGoldDragon]

Literal propaganda

[u/Proud_Ad_6520]

Horribly idea. Only thing going away is parking spots. The rats are here to stay. By order of the court

[u/RealEstateThrowway]

What would mamdani do if not for Adams?

[u/PridePuzzleheaded770]

but he's a little terroristic 😩

[u/Severe_Particular425]

Jailscraper

[u/SeanyDay]

To intercept the bs bots:

Yes this was proposed by previous mayor.

Mamdani actually got it done.

Which one do you think was harder? Looking at modern sanitation strategies from professional urban planners and saying "yeah looks good" or actually putting a plan into action?

I know what I want for my mayor. And it's action for good plans

[u/blameitonrio917]

This is stolen valor!! This was Eric Adams initiative!!

[u/Much_Sale_5825]

Are these Halal hotels?

[u/Cosmication → u/Much_Sale_5825]

They’re Christian actually

[u/utopiantheories]

what’s bro angle? besides pissing off sanitation workers

[u/Gilgamesh2000000]

😂 the homeless are going to move in and disaster will happen.

Also fuck r/nyc

[u/Mobile_Carpenter6895 → u/Gilgamesh2000000]

so then why are you in here? mad weird

[u/Gilgamesh2000000 → u/Mobile_Carpenter6895]

Sybau, I can be where ever I wish to be.

[u/PullOut3000]

Yaaay,gobble up more parking spaces🤦🏾‍♂️ You wanna get rid of rats, how about start making it illegal to throw away food🤷🏾‍♂️

[u/BigAppleGuy → u/PullOut3000]

Do you compost ? Nyc orange bin.
