Parts of New York City are getting some much needed help cleaning up a growing trash problem. NickJCaloway reports.
The Department of Sanitation has promised more resources after people said not enough was being done to keep up with trash pickup and street sweeping on the"You go to some corners and it's like the Sanitation Department doesn't exist. Piles of clothes and food. It's just awful," said Yvonne Durant.'It's unacceptable when you walk around all across New York City that trash is overflowing from litter baskets. It's being thrown into the street.
It includes money to change litter basket cleanup in the neighborhood to 4 times a day, 3 days a week. Currently, it's 3 times a day, every day. There's also money to increase frequency of sidewalk cleaning and funding for rat mitigation. "People are going to see a daily difference in their quality of life. This is the most, the commissioner and I were talking before, this is the most garbage pickup this district has ever, ever, ever seen in terms of litter baskets," said Menin.
