1 day agoGarbage containers land on Brooklyn streets, NYC's latest step to get trash off sidewalks

The large, gray bins made by the Spanish company Contenur are a common sight in parts of Upper Manhattan, where the sanitation department has rolled them out over the last year as part of a pilot program.
