New York City’s new democratic socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani took a moment this week to tell people of the city about an exciting new invention called rat-proof trash bins, which he will be implementing by the year 2031.
You absolutely could not make this up.
Couldn’t he put these bins all over the city by say… this coming week if he wanted to? Who needs a five-year plan to put out trash cans?
WABC News in New York reports:
Containerized trash is expanding to six more New York City districts by the end of 2027, as the Mamdani administration targets citywide containerization by 2031.
Businesses and low-density residential buildings are already required to put their trash bags in containers for pickup.
Over the next year, the Sanitation Department will distribute large Empire Bins to all residential buildings with 30 units or more in the six districts.
Officials say 6,500 large Empire garbage bins will be rolled out for more than 3,500 buildings in this expansion.
They can be only opened by building staff with a keycard, or by sanitation workers…
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement, “In the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, no New Yorker should have their sidewalks covered in garbage. By finishing the job on containerization, we will ensure New York City’s streets remain the envy of the world. We have the plan, we’re investing the money and we’re delivering on the promise of clean, healthy streets for every neighborhood.”
He actually did an announcement about this. Watch:
Good news for New Yorkers, bad news for rats: all trash will be in rat-proof bins by the end of 2031.

This is an accomplishment?
5 years to buy garbage cans.
Damn, look at that communist efficiency.
