Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Sanitation Commissioner (DSNY) Gregory Anderson announced Friday, April 17th that six new Community Districts across the city will have 100% trash containerization by the end of 2027. This announcement means that eight of the city’s 59 districts will have zero trash bags on the streets next fall, with the administration committing to full citywide trash containerization by end of 2031. “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,” said Mayor Mamdani. “We have the plan, we’re investing the money and we’re delivering on the promise of clean, healthy streets for every neighborhood.” “Containerization is a long overdue step in bringing our city’s trash collection into the modern era, putting an end to the piles of garbage that have become far too common across our city,” said Deputy Mayor for Operations Julia Kerson. “We will be

Property owners must clean sidewalks (including areas like tree pits, grass strips, etc.) and gutter areas (18 inches from the curb into the street) along the building perimeter. If you fail to keep the sidewalks and gutters near your property clean and unobstructed, you may be fined up to $100.

NYC DOT Art program: Alex Strada, DCLA, and DHS (October 2025) NYC Department of Transportation’s Art program (NYC DOT Art) is partnering with Alex Strada, the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Homeless Services, and the Storefront for Art and Architecture to present a signage installation on DOT signposts and streetlight poles throughout Brooklyn. Titled, “Public Address,” the artwork is the culmination of Strada’s three years as a Public Artist in Residency (PAIR) imbedded at the Department of Homeless Services. Over that time, Strada held log writing workshops across the boroughs engaging over 300 people living or working in the NYC shelter system in personal reflection and expression. This socially engaged artwork is aimed at destigmatizing homelessness by providing a platform for people living and working in city shelters to address the greater public. The display period is April 2026 through March 2027 and will be installed in conjunction with a larger sign installation at Columbus Park (through the NYC Parks Department). The project is currently installed in Manhattan and will continue to iterations in all five boroughs. NYC

Calling All Artists: Paint A DSNY Collection Truck! “Trucks of Art” Program Highlights Sustainability and Honors New York’s Strongest The New York City Department of Sanitation, together with the Sanitation Foundation, has announced Trucks of Art — a paid opportunity for artists to creatively paint an entire collection truck — is back! DSNY is welcoming all artists — professional, amateur and aspiring — to submit applications to transform a 46,000-pound collection vehicle into a work of art. Priority will be given to proposals that celebrate keeping NYC clean, sustainability, and the DSNY workforce. To promote sustainability, artists are encouraged to use paints that would otherwise be discarded or recycled. “Sanitation trucks have become part of our city’s streetscape, and today we announce a third opportunity for local artists to reimagine these trucks as 400 square feet of metal canvas and transform them into roving works of art,” said Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan. “Previous Trucks of Art are still on collection routes in all five boroughs, and we are thrilled to be adding five more to our fleet this spring.”

Dear New Yorker: During this year's General Election, the fate of New York City's neighborhoods depends on you! On the ballot are Mayor Adams’ so-called housing Proposals 2, 3 and 4, written in deceptive language that hides their true effect: stripping away your voice in how our city grows. Simply put, these proposals would take away your power to influence new development in your neighborhood, weakening our communities’ ability to get more affordable housing and benefits as part of increased development. This will lead to: LESS AFFORDABILITY: Mayor Adams' Proposals 2, 3 and 4 eliminate New Yorkers’ power to fight for more affordable housing in neighborhood development. LESS INVESTMENT: Mayor Adams' Proposals 2, 3, and 4 weaken communities' power, giving developers and the Mayor even more power to ignore our neighborhood needs. MORE GENTRIFICATION: Mayor Adams' Proposals 2, 3, and 4 take away the public's power, leaving our communities weaker to fight irresponsible development and gentrification. Don't be misled by the Mayor's proposals. Learn more at whatsonmyballot.nyc. Sincerely, New York City Council
