As of June 2026, a month from now, all NYC residences with 1-9 units are required to use only official NYC trash bins when leaving trash for curbside collection. Use of any other type of trash can, or no trash can, can result in a ticket. If you haven’t already gotten these bins, make sure to do so before June. Google “NYC Bins” for more information about legal requirements and where to buy these bins.
On a related note, does anyone know of a “trash can gemach” where NYC residents can drop off good condition but now useless old trash containers? Perhaps non-NYC residents can use them. Alternately, any ideas for repurposing old trash containers? It seems a waste that containers which were purchased from Home Depot for nearly $100 each only a few years ago and are in excellent condition are now useless.
Regarding uses for old trash cans, just order free Recycling Decals from the NYC Dept of Sanitation, and use them for recycling…
Just get free recycling decal from Sanitation Dept and use the old trash cans for recycling instead…..
you can use them to make noise when demonstrating near the mayor’s residence.
