Mountains of trash will be banned from sidewalks in front of every New York City business starting next March, Mayor Adams announced Tuesday.
The mayor said all commercial establishments will instead be required to put their garbage in lidded bins as part of Set featured imagean expansion of regulations that went into effect this month requiring all food-related and chain businesses to put their trash out in cans.
“All of those black bags will be off our streets,” Adams said during a news conference outside the Gray’s Papaya hot dog shop on the Upper West Side. “Our streets will look cleaner. It will smell cleaner, and across not just the borough of Manhattan, but across the entire five boroughs of New York. No one is going to have to worry about dodging or tripping over these garbage bags.”
