She also called on the city to rescind an incoming requirement that homeowners must use the official NYC Bin by June amid reports that the city’s official manufacturer and online vendor Otto is experiencing significant issues. By June 2026, all properties will be required to use official NYC Bins or face a $50 fine for a first offense, $100 fine for a second offense and a $200 fine for all subsequent offenses. “DSNY does plan on requiring residents to only use the official NYC Bin starting in June,” acting DSNY Commissioner Javier Lojan said in response to Ariola. DSNY has called for the use of official NYC Bins because they are custom-designed to work with new Sanitation trucks, which the agency states will help facilitate faster, safer and cleaner mechanized collection. Ariola had also called on DSNY to allow small businesses across the city to sell NYC Bins, stating that residents without access to Home Depot stores currently face burdens in acquiring the trash cans.
