Commissioner Jessica Tisch explains the Empire Bin distribution model for Manhattan Community Board 9. The model includes automatic assignment for larger buildings and an opt-in option for medium-sized buildings.

  • Buildings with 31+ units will automatically get an Empire Bin
  • Buildings with 10-30 units can opt in for an Empire Bin or choose to use wheelie bins
  • The exact number of bins and costs will be determined in January based on opt-ins
