Piles of trash and overflowing waste baskets have been permeating Bushwick for most of 2021.
Back in March, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced three new initiatives to minimize trash and maintain clean streets: restoring funding for litter basket service, a community clean-up van, and the creation of the New York City Department of Sanitation’s (DSNY) Precision Cleaning Initiative. This announcement came after de Blasio and the City Council slashed $106 million from DSNYs budget in 2020.
