This has had actually been in the works for a while, it’s not like he just materialized this out of nowhere.
But, it has been constantly getting delayed and put through “trials”. So, it actually getting implemented is good.
The best part is seeing idiots who want any excuse to attack a DSA politician trying to argue that loose trash bags are better than dumpsters. Like, trying to make the concept of dumpsters a culture war issue is hilarious.
Especially when 99% of their 'culture war' audience (who of course don't live in NYC) already use trash bins and dumpsters in their everyday lives.
"why aren't they burning the trash"
Why on earth do you need to trial putting things in a bin?
I was trying to devil's advocate this and all I could think of is if these would fit in tighter streets while a trash truck tries to picks them up and put them back down, but that's pretty much all that I could think of and it shouldn't take too long, most of that time was probably corruption related
