NYC unveils new trash collection tech for the first time since 1930's | NBC new York

Starting this fall, New York City will roll out a program that requires small buildings with less than nine units to put their trash in assigned wheelie bins. ⁠
⁠
Larger buildings with more than 31 units will use the new European-style on-street containers and these will be serviced by the new automated sideloading trucks, but the new technology paraded by city officials on Thursday won't be put to use until 2025.⁠
NBC New York's Marc Santia reports.

Are you kidding me? Most cities have had these since the 90s..

[@ClintonBlankenship]

NYC finally getting something the rest of the country has had for decades

[@giapacella6771]

New Yorkers will leave the bags on the street near dumpsters...just watch.

[@NAHuebsch82]

I'm 41 and can't remember the last time I saw a garbage truck that DiDNT do this lol....they still put bags on the street like that? 😂

[@FatLeonard84]

America still decades behind Europe 😂

[@Alejojojo6]

We have been doing this in Europe since like 30 years ago 😂

Welcome to the 1990's NYC from all of us down here in Australia 😂

[@pjg3333]

The future of gargabe collection???? OMG!!!! In Spain we have used them since 1994! I'm feeling like Martin McFly "Back to the Future".

[@mc1993]

Will it check for dead bodies? It is NYC after all.

[@candyazz28]

What took them so long?

[@EdibleDiarrhoea]

Curious why they are piloting the other trash tech that is out there. Trashcans or dumpsters that are underground.

[@juanmontull8550]

WTF!🤣In Spain we have those since the 80's, there even are thrash cans and collectors underground, also trucks here are from the 21st century not the 20th, come on! I thought the USA and New York were living in 2024 not 1984 😂🤣

[@chrisgabrilska8336]

The truck is a 2024 Mack LR Farid UMO ASL this is a innovative truck

[@kyledonaghy237]

They have these in Edinburgh

[@sal-esquivias]

Wow NY you’re ahead of everyone IF THIS WAS 1960!!!! Geeez

[@danielferstendig]

Reminds me of there goes a garbage truck

[@mattbarkla4957]

We have had these in Australia my whole life. I am 35 😂

[@LARAC510]

New York is about 100 years behind. I had no idea that New York was living like that. Every city across the country has city provided Dumpsters and Trash Cans. It took a Black man to clean up the Filth.

[@haroldalexis4200]

I have seen these on videos of trucks similar to these in Canada' s Sanitation Department. 🚚

[@demetriusjones7056]

I hate that they talk as if they came up with some type of new inventions or innovation. I don’t know if New York realizes but myself and many other Americans have seen a side loading trash truck out entire lives. the only difference is I think New York has figured out how to monopolize the situation instead of a company winning a contract
