The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) recently announced the opening of the public comment period for new proposed rules regarding when to put out garbage for collection. The aim of the new rules is to reduce the number of hours trash and recycling will sit on New York City sidewalks by adjusting the time of day when trash may be placed on the curb. In doing so, the city hopes to keep streets cleaner, discourage the proliferation of rats, and remove tripping hazards for pedestrians during rush hour.
