New York's Mayor Eric Adams began a press conference on Monday by rolling out a trash can and placing a black trash bag in it.

Welcome to our trash revolution, he then said to the reporters on site, reports NBC New York.

It has namely been decided that buildings with one to nine apartments will no longer be allowed to throw trash on the ground. From November 12, rat-proof trash cans must be used, which the city will sell to property owners for 50 dollars each. A similar requirement has been in place for businesses in the metropolis since March.

The new regulation is estimated to apply to 70 percent of the city's trash.

We're just catching up with what cities around the world are already doing, says Adams.
