keep being excellent, new york
They needed to hire the largest scam consultancy to figure out they need rolling bins? Why not task a city engineer or planner to figure that one out? I guess NYC can’t line pockets if they use the experts they already employ.
That’s it?
1.6 million to figure out they’re gonna use 96 gallon two wheeled totes that most municipal garbage programs in the US use already? Fuck. I’d have done the same thing for 500k. Two-thirds under budget and still got the solution. That’s a real win for the taxpayers right there.
How do we start HexBear consulting? Like, this is just a scam.
Are they gonna pay McKinsey another five mil to come up with “uhh, dumpsters?” for buildings with more than 9 units? Rolling out dumpsters just in time for rising sea levels to float them away.
FUCK
neolibs privatizing sanitation infrastructure:
We’re cleaning up NYC, everyone needs to buys these bins now under our new law.
Adams Sanitation Mandate!!!
And you know this is just gonna be weaponized against the unhoused and impoverished.
Correction: apartment buildings with more than ten tenants don’t have to buy them, they can continue to throw giants mounds of garbage at the curb. Which is heeeee-larious because these bins are supposedly about preventing rats on the sidewalk, as the giant apartment building trash mounds do way more to attract rats than 1-2 family homes’ garbage.
giant apartment building trash mounds
Wait, what? Is this real? NYC just throws their trash on the side of the road like savages? Actually for real?
Wait until you hear about Moving Day. For over 300 years, everyone in New York moved on the same day. This should not be a real place.
What lol i thought there’d be some other mandate for big units! How often is trash collection in nyc? Those containers can fill up fast.
A criminal misuse of public funds everyone involved should be shot
The backbone of this city’s recycling program rolls around recycling on the sidewalks in shopping carts 24/7/365 and it took the city 1.6 million bucks to figure out it’s easier to move trash on wheels?
