☆ Behold: New York City’s Trash Can of the Future
  + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Dodai Stewart | More About Dodai Stewart | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Coming to a street corner near you: a sleek new litter basket, the latest weapon in New York City’s generations-long war on trash. The new receptacle, which will replace the green wire mesh litter baskets seen across the city, has three parts: a concrete base (so it’s tough to tip over); a hinged metal lid; and a removable, relatively lightweight plastic basket that sanitation workers will lift and empty. “The wire litter baskets are iconic, but they are well past their useful life in New York City,” said Jessica Tisch, the city’s sanitation commissioner. “They are vestiges of a different time.”Ms. Tisch noted that the wire baskets were made up of a series of holes: “That’s the fundamental design feature which allows the rats to get in them,” she said.

☆ New York City Residents Will Soon Have to Compost Their Food Scraps

It is unclear if Mr. Adams will sign the bill, but it appears to have enough support to override a mayoral veto. “We have a supermajority on all of the bills,” said Sandy Nurse, the councilwoman who chairs the Sanitation Committee and is one of three lead sponsors of the legislative package. “Whether or not the administration wants these bills to happen is irrelevant. The success of the Council’s mandate will depend on the Sanitation Department’s effective delivery of the program. That mandate does not apply to food scraps.

☆ To Fight Rats, N.Y.C. Restaurants Will Have to Put Trash in Containers
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Emma G. Fitzsimmons | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the latest front in New York City’s fight against the proliferation of trash and rats, city officials plan to require restaurants and bodegas to set out trash in containers instead of bags. The move would address one of New York’s ubiquitous, age-old eyesores: the heaps of smelly trash bags filled with restaurant food scraps and liquids that remain at curbside for hours at night, providing easy targets for rats until commercial haulers arrive. “We want people to understand that bags on the street attract rats, and we need everyone to do their part — residents, businesses and the city — to get the black bags of rat food off the streets,” Ms. Tisch said. The rule would apply to a wide range of businesses that produce most of the city’s food waste: catering companies, food manufacturers, restaurants, food wholesalers and retail food stores. They would be required to put trash at the curb in “rigid receptacles with tight-fitting lids.”
☆ New York City wants to hire a ‘rat czar’—and could pay them $170,000 per year
  + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
New York City is hiring a leader to fight against residents' common enemy: rats. New York is the country's "second-rattiest" city, according to pest control company Orkin's most recent annual rankings. One performance actor, Jonothon Lyons, patrols the city's subway stations and park trash cans wearing a latex rat head. On Thursday, he tweeted an article about the position, writing: "If you have the drive, determination, and killer instinct needed to fight New York City's relentless rat population — then your dream job awaits." In October, the New York Sanitation Department announced that New Yorkers will be fined for putting trash on the curb before 8 p.m. starting in April 2023.

New York City is hiring a "director of rodent mitigation" for a salary of between $120,000 and $170,000. Rat sightings are up 71% this year from 2020, according to data from the NYC Department of Sanitation. A rat is seen by a trash bin in New York City on October 19, 2022. Lokman Vural Elibol/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesWhile New York City has long been synonymous with rats, sightings have skyrocketed. Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch made an anti-rat statement in November that went viral, and became the subject of countless memes, New York City marathon signs — and now a shirt.
