The Empire Bins strike back. Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday trotted out the next phase of the controversial “Empire Bin” program — part of the city’s effort to curb trash bags littering the sidewalks started under the Adams administration. The city is expanding the “containerization” program — a key initiative of Mamdani’s predecessor Eric Adams — to six districts, bringing garbage bins to 25,000 residences in larger buildings across the Big Apple.
