The new cans will be placed at intersections on First, Second, Third and Lexington avenues, from East 70th to East 98th street, where there have been numerous complaints of trash overflow, according to City Councilman Ben Kallos, who funded the cans with $20,710 from his budget.

The cans are wider in circumference than the normal trash receptacles and have a domed top with a smaller hole on the top.  Some of them will replace existing wire bins that are smaller, and the others will be added to intersections that didn't have bins before.

“What happens when someone you represent as a lobbyist has business in our districts and wants something from us, and we need your vote in 2017 to get on the ballot?” said Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan).

NY Council Member, and LIT endorsed candidate, Ben Kallos announced on Monday, Aug 22an incredible piece of legislation that allows community members to use City-owned buildings for rehearsals and performances.
