Every day around the afternoon rush hour businesses and buildings put out the trash - they can do that after 4 p.m., but what if they couldn't do that until 8 p.m.? The new plan would cut down on the amount of time the black bags of trash pile up and just sit there -- taking up sidewalk space as people head home - and inviting rats, who will make themselves at home as long as it's there.
One idea sanitation is considering is requiring that any trash put out before 8 p.m. be put into a bin that way businesses that close before 8 could put out their trash sooner. That bin would have to be a bin with a lid that seals - not one that rats can still get into.
