Rats are running rampant in New York City like never before -- and because of this Mayor Eric Adams has announced a plan that will 'drastically' reduce the amount of time garbage will remain on city streets.
Under the new city rules, which will go into effect on April 1, 2023, residential buildings will have three options:Place trash out after 8 p.m. if putting bags directly on the curb, or
If a building has nine or more residential units, the property owner may opt-in to a 4 p.m. – 7 a.m. window instead. The opt-in period will run for the month of January each year, allowing DSNY to design efficient routes that will take effect on April 1. At a press conference announcing the new plan Monday, Adams decried the current policy as outmoded, saying it has been in place since 1969.
"It makes no sense that these garbage bags remain on the streets for such a long period of time. They have become 'open season' for rodents going into these bags, creating a real health problem in our city," the mayor said."Fighting rats is something that we are focused on as we continue to make this city a livable city.
Over the summer, New York City Council members presented a five-point"rat action plan" to solve the issue, which includes rat-proof trash bins. It's expected to pass sometime in October.
