It’s about time..don’t you think?!
NYC Mayor Eric Adams aims to keep his promise to combat the increase in rats and rodents by implementing the first official trash bin program for residents.
Joined by Department of Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Adams announced on July 8 by wheeling out and presenting the first bin to the curb outside Gracie Mansion. Adams feels the program will keep city streets cleaner by limiting the amount of black trash bags seen on the streets and will decrease the rat population. “Today, we are tossing even more black bags into the dustbin of history and taking the next step forward in our ‘Trash Revolution,’” Adams said.
“They are getting more and more bold. They no longer run from you; they just hang out and just do what they want. And we want to make sure that we change that in a real way.”

Adams has had his own issues with the city’s rat population after it was reported that the sanitation department cited the former NYPD captain for allegedly harboring rats in his Brooklyn townhome. City records show Adams received close to 18 summons over the years, mostly related to garbage issues. He mentioned his disdain for the creepy rodents during his campaign. “Most people don’t know this about me, but I hate rats. And pretty soon, those rats will be hating me,” Adams said.
