That’s not a bin, now this is a bin!
Today @NYCSanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch and I celebrated the arrival of the Better Bin corner trash cans in Council District 3, purchased with discretionary funds from my office. Called the Better Bin, the design was the winner of a 2018 Department of Sanitation (DSNY)

The state’s transport agency is under fire for putting in place measures that divert traffic onto key inner Sydney roads and local streets.
