The New York City Council is embracing a new strategy in an effort to rid the city of its rat problem — and it could change the way residents toss away their trash.
"“Our bill will ensure that rodent abatement is a part of any large construction project moving forward," said Councilman Erik Bottcher.
Currently, New Yorkers can put their trash in the curb at 4 p.m. — but in some communities, that means on most days it will sit there for more than 13 hours before it is collected. Adams' proposal would push the time to put out the trash to 8 p.m. Anyone looking to dispose of it earlier would need to put it in a trash can.
