Brian Lear on WNYC. Now we're going to talk about the rollout both literally and

figuratively of New York City's first official trash bin. Mayor Eric Adams

and New York City sanitation commissioner Jessica T, held a news conference last Friday in front of the mayor's home, Gracie Mansion, where Adams hold a large black trash bag down to the curb with the Alicia Keys song New York playing in the background and dramatically

placed the bag in the first ever official New York City trash bin.

The city is soon going to require single family homes and businesses

buildings I should say with up to nine residential units to use trash bins as opposed to piling trash bags on the curb, marking the next step of what Mayor

Adams is calling New York City's Trash Revolution. Bigger buildings already have to do with these

new city-sponsored bins cost about $50. That's cheaper than

comparable retail bins and they're now available online through the sanitation department.

It's worth mentioning that some of the city's publicity on these containerization efforts has sparked some jokes online because, well, many cities have been requiring their residents and businesses to put their trash and bins for a long time.

But here in New York, everything is always a bit more complicated.

So with us now to talk us through this trash revolution is New York City sanitation

commissioner Jessica Tish. Commissioner always good to have you on the show.

Welcome back to WNYC. Thank you for having me. And listeners this is your

opportunity to ask the sanitation commissioner any question you have about these new really bins or if you have thoughts on the city's recent containerization efforts.
