STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — New York City is sending rebate checks to certain homeowners who purchased official city trash bins as part of the city’s ongoing push for full trash containerization across the five boroughs.
The rebate was announced Thursday by Mayor Eric Adams, who has made wide-sweeping changes to sanitation policies in an effort to fight back against the scourge of rats on city streets.
“Building a cleaner New York City is going to require all of us to work together to keep trash off our streets. To encourage everyone to do their part and to help put more money back into the pockets of working-class New Yorkers, we’ll be covering the cost of the NYC Bin for most one- and two-family homeowners,” said Adams. “Our ‘Trash Revolution’ is now not only making our city cleaner, but also more affordable. I encourage everyone who has not yet to order an NYC Bin to do so today. There’s no reason to wait — cleaning up our city starts at home, so make sure to get your NYC Bin and get cash back.”…
