Reply to comment by 603er in NYC has to be the only city in the world where it's a significant political accomplishment to deploy a single trash bin by scooterflaneuse

No counting required since you have to use specific bags purchase from city. If not in those bag, they wont get picked and household fined. Simple process. More trash you generate, more bags you buy from city.

While those giant containers system look nice, it will simply cost a arm and leg to install and to get our sanitation to pick them up regularly. Plus need truck upgrades. So never going to happen due to cost.

Eventually everyone starts throwing bags of trash into the East River or right onto the FDR drive* lol.

I do appreciate your optimism and faith in the people of New York City though.
