Starting on Saturday - there will be no putting out trash bags on the curb before 8 p.m.
Currently, trash bags can go out at 4 p.m. the night before collection - that means in many neighborhoods, they can sit out for more than 14 hours.
There is some wiggle room to the new regulations - you can place your trash out after 6 p.m. if it is in a secure container. Businesses can put their trash out one hour before closing, but it must be in an enclosed bin. Not everyone is convinced the new times will help with the rodent problem, but for others, it is a step to clean up New York City's streets.
Crews will be doing much more of their collection on the midnight shift rather than the 6 a.m. shift - reducing the time trash is on the street.
