Sanitation crews began installing stationary trash containers in Brooklyn Heights on October 29, starting a rollout of more than 700 units across Community District 2.
Property managers will open the locked receptacles with a key card or smartphone app. DSNY expects the district’s installation work to finish by the end of fall.
