EXCLUSIVE: Mayor Adams will provide mandated funding for free homeowner trash bins amid conflict with City Council

Mayor Eric Adams will provide $14.8 million in funds to provide free homeowner trash bins — a move in line with legislation enacted by the City Council in March — despite a Saturday report in the New York Post that he would refuse to do so on the grounds that the bill passed was “fiscally irresponsible.”

Though Mayor Adams has criticized the legislation, a spokesperson for the Mayor told amNewYork that the office never said it would not provide the funding.
