That's because all buildings with one to nine housing units will have to start putting household trash for pickup in large plastic containers — which are said to be rat-proof — on the curb rather than just leaving the bags themselves.

It's part of what the city and Mayor Eric Adams have called a"trash revolution" as they look to improve on how to deal with 44 million pounds of garbage a day. No more piles of garbage bags on the street! In the next few months, smaller apartment buildings will have to put their trash in containers, not on the streets. News 4's Gus Rosendale reports.
