The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has informed Council Member Joann Ariola that it is open to allow small businesses to sell the official NYC Bin, potentially expanding on an existing policy that names Home Depot as the only authorized retailer of the trash containers.
Ariola had written to DSNY and Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week calling on the city to allow hardware stores to sell the trash cans in a bid to support small businesses and improve access to the official bins.
