623. Can New York City Win Its War on Rats?

We have developed, I would say, a gorgeous, new, standardized New York City official wheelie bin. A lot of people laugh at us because they think we sound like we have discovered the wheelie bin.

These containers are about four cubic yards. The bins do take up parking spaces, but because they are being used just for the large buildings of 30 units or more,

Sanitation workers cannot lift these four cubic yard containers. In the United States, we didn't have a large automated side loading truck that worked in cities. And so we developed that truck with some vendors who do work in Europe. And we rolled out the first of these automated side loading trucks that are going to hoist these four cubic yard containers.

So now by containerizing it, we're asking everyone in the city to change the way they do something.
