Earlier this year, New York discovered the auto-loading garbage trucks that have been in every small Midwestern town since 2005:
Now, they've discovered that you don't have to throw bags of garbage on the streets, but that you can place them inside a sealed container - WITH WHEELS - to sit out at the curb.

It's perfect.
No longer will New Yorkers in this area be just tossing their full trash bags on the street!
The Jay-Z Empire State of Mind soundtrack to this clip really brings it home.
And the best part? The offices of the mayor assure us that this will be standard in all housing units by 2026!
Buildings with one to nine residential units will be required to put their trash in individual wheelie bins starting this fall, with the first-ever official NYC Bins available for use at that time and required by all residential units with one to nine units approximately two years later, in the summer of 2026. This model was informed by a volumetric analysis of how much trash buildings of different sizes produce, on average.
Greatest city on earth!
