Johnson on this side of Staples in Long Island.
2:45:18
I'm not here in City Hall.
2:45:19
I'm here to testify in support of I'm saying there's a bill for the for the for the waste bill for the to separate green and yellow and brown oils that need to be needed in the city of New York because what I ice works I used for construction security inside of the the Macy's project in Brooklyn, is Lincoln Reston District.
2:45:36
And what I saw was that they'd never really separated the the the type of something we separate.
2:45:42
Would just worry about getting stuff out of place because they'll try to get the job done quickly so they can keep on getting paid.
2:45:48
I think that need to stop happening within these job sites because I think it puts a lot of people in danger.
2:45:54
A lot the average person don't know what's in those, what's those what those oils mean and what they can do to somebody's health.
2:46:02
So that need to stop.
2:46:03
They need to make they need to really, crack down that more, sending nurses correct about the bill that need to be set that need to be implemented.
2:46:11
But going to the commercial waste zone situation, this need to be put in more industrial zones, not in residential zones.
2:46:18
You need put you put in, the more the big zones for, like, more industrial zones with commercial waste zones.
2:46:24
I understand what's going on with the commercial waste.
2:46:27
And my, get well better to the lady that got lost her leg, who's a member of family face family of the state streets.
2:46:34
I wish down nobody.
2:46:36
At the same time, we need, what needs to start happening more is they need to start background checking more of these drivers and start drug testing these these drivers more often.
2:46:47
Maybe this stuff will stop.
2:46:48
And I'm calling the city council to put bills in the city council, starting with you, mister O'Breyu, and nurse to put in the transition committee to make it where that if anybody gonna drive a commercial, commercial waste truck need to go to a background check and go to random drug test, implemented by the city of New York, not by the job itself, but the city of New York need to start implementing random drug tests to all these commercial drug drivers because maybe if, this started happening, these guys started getting fired more.
