Correction: apartment buildings with more than ten tenants don’t have to buy them, they can continue to throw giants mounds of garbage at the curb. Which is heeeee-larious because these bins are supposedly about preventing rats on the sidewalk, as the giant apartment building trash mounds do way more to attract rats than 1-2 family homes’ garbage.

Wait, what? Is this real? NYC just throws their trash on the side of the road like savages? Actually for real?

Usually they throw their bags right on the sidewalk. Sometimes there's a little short fenced area near the curb to contain the bags.

NYC is smelly

Wait until you hear about Moving Day. For over 300 years, everyone in New York moved on the same day. This should not be a real place.

Yeah it was the same in Quebec up until very recently. Apparently it was also customary for tenants to have to buy/move their own stoves and fridges too.

We should do that more under socialism

What lol i thought there'd be some other mandate for big units! How often is trash collection in nyc? Those containers can fill up fast.

No no no, they need to spend more money on consultants to tell them "Uhh, Idk, make the big buildings buy dumpsters. And then you put like a fork attachment on the truck, just like every other city in this country. Have any of you even been to another city?"
