Race Day Live (New York City, Jan 2025) – A fresh year has arrived, and New York City’s “Trash Revolution” is underway.

The alert duration extended from November 12 to January 2. The NYC Department of Sanitation reported that 70,000 warnings were given out during that period.

“For decades, New Yorkers have become accustomed to seeing trash bags on their streets, but our administration has refused to accept the status quo,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “In just over a year, we’ve gone from putting all 44 million pounds of trash per day on our streets to having 70 percent of that waste covered by bin rules – and much to our rats’ disappointment, we have a plan for the rest. Congratulations to Commissioner Tisch and the team at DSNY for leading the ‘Trash Revolution.’”

Starting Thursday, property owners and building managers with one to nine units may incur fines of $50 for their first violation, $100 for a second, and $200 for a third if they do not utilize a bin with a secure lid.
