I'm gonna pivot now to Manhattan Community Board 9, Stationary On Street Container Pilot Program.
0:59:16
I know it's a favorite topic of yours.
0:59:19
It is.
0:59:19
Favorite topic of mine.
0:59:21
DSNY's proposed rules relating to the stationary on street container program that will run-in Manhattan Community District 9, starting next year, indicate that buildings with 10 to 30 dwelling units must opt into the program before February 1st.
0:59:37
Is this still the case?
0:59:38
And if so, is DSNY engaged in any outreach to owners of buildings of this size in MCD 9 to inform them of the opportunity?
Jessica Tisch
0:59:47
Yeah.
0:59:47
I just realized I misspoke.
0:59:49
I said to, chair Juan that we would know in January.
0:59:52
We'll know in February how many of the 10 to 30 opted in.
0:59:57
But it is the case, that in Manhattan Community Board 9, buildings of 10 to 30 units will will have about a 6 week period.
1:00:05
The form opened to opt in to use empire bins.
1:00:09
Otherwise, they will be using wheelie bins.
1:00:13
The form will open on December 15th and close the end of January.
1:00:19
And, we do have a substantial outreach campaign planned associated with the launch of that form.
Shaun Abreu

Any idea on who how many of them have opted in so far?
