Steel cans provided by the resident are the best option for cost and sustainability. “Metal recycles forever”.
Residents should be forced to provide their own metal cans with tightly fitting or latching lids. Garbage collection should not be provided 6 days a week to Harlem that’s wasteful. Once a week at most is more reasonable.
- Spooky23 2y agoThe collection thing is tough as there’s no alleys or anywhere to keep it. I agree 100% on the metal cans. Metal cans are cheap and effective.
- smelendez 2y agoEvery resident/household in NYC having their own metal trash can would mean the streets and sidewalks near dense apartment buildings would just be covered in cans. I’m not sure what the optimal pickup rate is but it should be more than once a week, especially in the summer. NYC apartment dwellers don’t have room to store full trash bags inside, and are generally discouraged from doing so to avoid attracting vermin, and you don’t want trash putrifying in the summer heat on the street for a week.
- eru 2y agoWhy does the frequency even need to be centrally decided?
