One of the flags of the Municipal Administration has been to declare the fight against the garbage and the wheel that swarm in the Big Apple. And so that this battle has new resources and better tools, Mayor Eric Adamspresented a pilot plan, which will begin to be implemented in Harlem, which has a new collection truck that will allow containers to be placed outside large residential buildings, which will mechanically grab the waste.
This is what he announced the local leader, during a press conference in which he showed the benefits of the new truck and the program, which he said will help remove all of New York City’s garbage from the streets and place it in safe, rodent-resistant containers. The ultimate goal is to make New York the cleanest city in the United States, and Manhattan Community Board 9 will be the first district with 100 percent of its trash in containers and with collection service by next year.
“The data is clear: under our administration, New York City streets are cleaner. And starting this fall, thanks to the bold actions we’ve taken, 70 percent of New York City’s black bags will be off our streets and into containers, but we won’t stop there,” he said. the burgomaster. “The new garbage truck, which we introduced four years ahead of schedule, represents the future of New York City garbage collection. And it means that We can put the garbage in containers (not simply in bins) of our large residential buildings, something people didn’t think was possible in our dense city.”
Councilor Shaun Abreupresident of the City Council’s Sanitation Committee and one of the legislative body’s main political leaders of Latino origin, assured that the pilot program will benefit all New Yorkers, who constantly have to deal with rodents and garbage.
“All New Yorkers have a rat story. Since time immemorial, these rodents have burrowed into the walls of our apartments, ruined evening walks, and found refuge in our sewage system. But where really They thrive where there is an abundance of trash, and in New York, where we throw plastic trash bags on street corners, “This happens practically everywhere,” said the Manhattan legislator.
“The only way to win the war against rats is to modernize the way we remove, contain and process our wasteand that is exactly what we are doing today in West Harlem, where residents have experienced the worst rat infestations in the entire city for decades,” Abreu added, who was grateful that his neighborhood was at the decision-making table. “Not only are we closing the lid on our garbage, but we are also closing the door on a period of neglect. The clean streets movement is here, and I couldn’t be prouder that West Harlem and Morningside Heights are leading from the front.”
Deputy Mayor for Operations, Meera Joshistressed that the end of the black garbage bags that roll through the streets of the Big Apple and that are seen on sidewalks every week, is near, which in the process means that rodents have no way to feed themselves.
“The rats and black bags are leaving our streets; there is no place for them in a New York city in the containers,” said the official, adding that both New Yorkers and tourists are already beginning to notice the difference.
“New Yorkers have been clear: they are tired of the black bags that occupy our sidewalks, and the leachate from the garbage and being told that other cities in the world can have something that we cannot,” said the official. “This administration rejects the cynicism that says things can’t change, and the speed at which we have moved to change the relationship between 8.3 million New Yorkers and the United States cannot be underestimated. 44 million pounds of garbage a day”.
