Brooklyn has become home to the city’s first residential Empire Bins, a new waste management system designed to streamline recycling and trash collection for apartment buildings. The initiative, spearheaded by a local waste management company, aims to improve efficiency and reduce contamination in recycling streams by providing standardized, high-capacity bins for multi-unit housing. Residents and property managers are being encouraged to adapt to the new system, which includes clear labeling and separate compartments for different waste types. The rollout marks a step toward more sustainable urban waste handling in densely populated neighborhoods.
