"Recycling bins, Not required, but recommended" I mean they've only discovered the bins, so I'll cut them some slack, but the road is going to be long until NYC has a decent, sustainable waste management system

In the UK we’ve had these exact bins since the 90s. I actually thought it was a joke. Why would you need to buy them? Surely you pay for these in tax?

I thought this was a joke at first.

Sounds like a reasonable initiative:

> The NYC Bin is the official bin exclusively for properties with 1-9 residential units (including single-family homes to 9-unit apartment buildings) to set out their trash. It is available for purchase at a significantly lower price than similar bins at retail stores.

> The NYC Bin is the next step in New York City’s plan to get black bags of garbage off the streets and make our city cleaner and safer for all New Yorkers.
