I have a few follow-up questions.

For the container contract of $7,000,000, you were saying that it's $700,000 per year just for Manhattan?

Rough roughly, yes.

So, roughly, it's about $700,000 per year for Manhattan Community Board 9.
0:39:39
So, that's about 10 containers?
Jessica Tisch
0:39:41
Oh, no.
0:39:42
No, no, no.
