Council Member Shaun Abreu inquires about the logistics of bin delivery from the manufacturer to New York City residents. Joshua Goodman from DSNY provides details on the process.
- Otto, the bin manufacturer, has a warehouse in Brooklyn where bins are stored after being shipped from their factory
- Deliveries are made using box trucks that distribute bins around the city
- Bins are shipped en masse and delivered using routing software for efficiency
- The exact method of transportation from the factory to the Brooklyn warehouse (rail, truck, or trailer) is not immediately known, but Goodman offers to find out

Joshua Goodman

1:34:09
How come we got them the same day?
1:34:10
It was because routing efficiencies.
1:34:12
Right?
1:34:12
We delivered them the same day, but you both still got them in a
Shaun Abreu
1:34:14

1:34:20
I'm not sure.
1:34:20
I could ask auto, if you're interested.
1:34:22
I would imagine it's a combination.
Shaun Abreu
1:34:25
Yeah.
1:34:25
If you can just get us that answer, that would be great, if you don't have that right now.
