Mayor Eric Adams and Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Wednesday announced plans for the city to containerize waste at nearly all residential buildings across the five boroughs.

Approximately a year from now, in the fall of 2024, buildings with nine or fewer residential units will be required to place all trash in secure containers, Adams said at a news conference.

“This is really part of our ongoing initiative to continue to have our city as being the cleanest big city in America,” he said. “Instead of a four-year plan, we are expediting that plan — from dealing with food service businesses to now going into residential locations, and we’re going to continue to evolve until you see a city where the garage is containerized.”

The new rule will apply to 765,000 buildings, or approximately 95% of residential properties in New York City, the mayor said in a press release.

Additionally, by summer 2026, Adams said all waste must be containerized in official “NYC Bins.” Those trash bins will eventually be available through one authorized seller, with prices “capped substantially lower than they would be in retail stores,” according to the release.

The Department of Sanitation will require the bin seller to produce bins in several sizes, to accommodate various types of buildings, aesthetics, rat resistance and mechanized collection, the release said.

“You’re going to see one of the most dramatic reshapings of our city in probably the history of our city in the next couple of years under Commissioner Tisch, our rat czar and Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi,” Adams said.

Adams also assured New Yorkers that the price of the official city bins would not become a financial burden on taxpayers.

“We’re going to give them a clean way to containerize their garbage at an affordable price,” he said.

The mayor’s announcement came less than a month after his administration announced that businesses across the five boroughs would be required to place trash in containers or face fines by March 1, 2024.
