To Fight Rats, NYC Restaurants Will Have to Put Trash in Containers

By Emma G. Fitzsimmons

In the latest front in New York City’s fight against the proliferation of trash and rats, city officials plan to require restaurants and bodegas to set out trash in containers instead of bags. The rule, which will be formally proposed on Thursday, could apply to 40,000 food-related businesses — roughly 20 percent of businesses in the city — covering “everything from Dunkin’ Donuts to Tavern on the Green,” the city’s sanitation commissioner, Jessica Tisch, said in an interview.

The move would address one of New York’s ubiquitous, age-old eyesores:
the heaps of smelly trash bags filled with restaurant food scraps and liquids
that remain at curbside for hours at night, providing easy targets for rats
until commercial haulers arrive. “We want people to understand that bags
on the street attract rats, and we need everyone to do their part —
residents, businesses and the city — to get the black bags of rat food
off the streets,” Ms. Tisch said. The rule would apply to a wide range
of businesses that produce most of the city’s food waste: catering companies,
food manufacturers, restaurants, food wholesalers and retail food stores.
They would be required to put trash at the curb in “rigid receptacles
with tight-fitting lids.”

What's Next:
The Sanitation Department will hold a public hearing on June 22
about the proposal for food-related businesses to use containers.
The rule could take effect as early as July. The New York Times
