NYC Generates 44 Million Pounds Of Garbage A Day

4 weeks ago New York City is now requiring some residents place their trash into garbage bins for pickup. Earlier this month, people living in residences with less than 10 units were required to use a trash bin with a secure lid. The mandate was the next phase in efforts to bring New York in line with what most major cities the world over have been doing for decades, if not longer. All city businesses were required to comply with the bin requirements earlier this year. Eventually larger units will have to meet the mandate.
