Council Member Joann Ariola has called on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to retract a city mandate ordering home owners to use the official NYC Bin by June following reports that the city’s official manufacturer and online vendor is experiencing significant issues.
Ariola also called on Mamdani and the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to allow smaller hardware stores to sell the official NYC Bin if rescinding the mandate proves impossible. At present, Home Depot is the only retailer authorized to sell the official bins.
