"NYC Snow Alert: Winter Storm Threatens to End Historic Snow-less Streak"

New York City has issued a snow alert and travel advisory ahead of the first measurable snowfall of the season, warning commuters to be cautious while traveling and allowing for extra time due to potentially slippery roads and walkways. The Department of Sanitation is reminding property owners to clear their sidewalks, with specific timeframes for snow removal, and the city has suspended alternate side parking regulations for Tuesday.

"NYC Implements Mandatory Trash Containerization in Residential Buildings to Combat Rat Infestation"

New York City's Department of Sanitation has announced a new rule requiring residential buildings with nine or fewer units to put their trash out in bins starting in the fall of 2024. This rule covers 95 percent of residential buildings in the city and around 40 percent of residential trash. The move is part of the city's ongoing efforts to combat its trash problem, with the aim of reducing the presence of rats, odors, and unsightly streets. The city will also require the use of official NYC bins starting in the summer of 2026, and trash trucks will be retrofitted or replaced to accommodate the new bins.

"NYC Pilots Containerized Trash Collection to End Sidewalk Garbage Mountains"

New York City could repurpose 150,000 parking spots, up to 10% of available spaces, to move 89% of trash on residential streets into containers, according to a new report from the Department of Sanitation. The city dedicates 80% of its available curb space to street parking, equivalent to 12 Central Parks. Denser areas of the city would need larger shared containers on the curb, while half of the city would use individual bins. The report found that containerisation is viable across the vast majority of the five boroughs, but would require an overhaul of the Department of Sanitation's fleet and increased pickup frequency.
