Say goodbye to streets lined with trash!

One of the most infamous scenes in the Big Apple could soon be headed for the bin as City Hall rolled out two new programs Thursday aimed at keeping trash off the curb and away from rats.

The city’s Sanitation and Transportation departments are teaming up to get key business districts — like Times Square and parts of downtown Brooklyn — to join a new “Clean Curbs” pilot program, which will install sealed containers on the street to keep commercial trash off sidewalks.

Additionally, the Sanitation Department plans to require all new 300-plus-unit buildings to put their garbage in sealed containers rather than piling it in bags that New York’s infamous rats and other vermin often claw into for food.

“City pedestrians navigate around piles of trash and recycling that take up significant sidewalk space,” Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said. “It is time to make smarter, more efficient choices when it comes to the way New Yorkers set out refuse and recycling for collection in the public right of way. Today’s announcement is the first step in that direction.”

New residential buildings with at least 150 units would also have to submit a management plan to the city. It would include outlining how they’ll store trash and recyclables indoors between regular scheduled pickups.

Buildings that don’t comply with the proposed rules won’t receive free pickup from the Department of Sanitation.

Garcia said the city is focusing on new buildings but is open to expanding the rules to cover other types of residences.

“If we have success, we would want to look at it more broadly,” Garcia said. “I’m hopeful that is where we end up.”

It’s unclear when the pilot program or the proposed rules will go into effect, but the city has scheduled a public hearing on the rules for April 16.

Garcia declined to say which Business Improvement Districts have expressed interest in the pilot program or when they will be able to apply.

Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said “allowing eligible BIDs to experiment with installing sealed, on-street garbage and recycling containers will help make New York’s bustling sidewalks cleaner, more accessible, and more enjoyable for residents and tourists alike.”
