NEW YORK<\/b> \u2013 New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan, and New York City Department of Finance (DOF) Commissioner Preston Niblack\u202ftoday announced that owners of one- and two-family homes who receive the Basic or Enhanced School Tax Relief (STAR or E-STAR) credit or exemption will receive a $59.30 check to pay for the cost of their official NYC Bin<\/a>. Checks are due to hit mailboxes in the coming weeks. Eligible homeowners will not have to do anything to receive the checks, as DOF will automatically be sending them.<\/p>\n

As of November 12, 2024, all properties with one to nine residential units \u2014 including one- and two-family homes \u2014 are required to use bins, 55 gallons or less, with secure lids for trash set out. Those residents who already use a bin of similar size may continue to use it only until June 2026, when they will be required to use the official NYC Bin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding a cleaner New York City is going to require all of us to work together to keep trash off our streets. To encourage everyone to do their part and to help put more money back into the pockets of working-class New Yorkers, we\u2019ll be covering the cost of the NYC Bin for most one- and two-family homeowners,\u201d said Mayor Adams<\/b>. \u201cOur \u2018Trash Revolution\u2019 is now not only making our city cleaner, but also more affordable. I encourage everyone who has not yet to order an NYC Bin to do so today. There\u2019s no reason to wait \u2014 cleaning up our city starts at home, so make sure to get your NYC Bin and get cash back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile NYC Bins were already the most affordable containers of their quality on the market, this rebate makes it even easier for homeowners to purchase their NYC Bins,\u201d said Acting NYC Sanitation Commissioner Lojan<\/b>.\u202f\u201cNYC Bins are delivering cleaner streets and sidewalks, and fewer rats, and I encourage those who have not yet ordered their bin to ACT NOW using this rebate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis rebate is one more way we\u2019re making life in the city more affordable for working-class New Yorkers,\u201d said DOF Commissioner Niblack<\/b>. \u201cBy helping cover the cost of an official NYC Bin, we\u2019re making it easier for homeowners to comply with the new rules while reducing the burden on their household budgets. We\u2019re proud to play a part in keeping our city cleaner, healthier, and more affordable for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DOF will send letters in the coming weeks notifying homeowners of this refund:<\/p>\n
