The rollout was delayed due to problems with a liner that is supposed to fit into the fancy cans.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Futuristic garbage cans will soon appear on New York City streets following a delay tied to a feature of the newfangled $1,000 trash receptacles.
They’ll be hitting the streets four weeks later than expected because of complications tied to the liner, which is made of high density polyethylene manufactured in Portugal. Problems with the custom-designed liner mold delayed the fabrication of the next generation of New York City garbage cans, sanitation officials said.
“It's easier to make the stand and the metal portion [of the trash can] than it is to make the liner,” said Kelly, who added the delay was a common problem when manufacturing new products. Take a good look while you can, the city's green metal mesh garbage cans are going the way of the dodo.“This is a priority, to get all of those mesh wire and defunct litter baskets replaced,” Tisch said at the hearing.
