In response to Mayor Adams and the Department of Sanitation announcing a waste containerization pilot expansion to all five boroughs, Speaker Adrienne E. Adams released the following statement:  

“New Yorkers deserve to live in communities that are safe and clean. I applaud Mayor Adams and the Department of Sanitation for moving forward with this pilot program for containerization, which the Council prioritized in its Preliminary Budget Response. This can be a critical part of the city’s waste management landscape, and we look forward to our continued partnership in achieving the necessary sanitation investments for New York City.”
