NYS Audit Critical Of Subway Trash Can Removal Experiment
A state comptroller’s audit is critical of an MTA pilot program that removed trash cans from 39 subway stations to reduce garbage and rats.
Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s audit Tuesday says there’s no way for the MTA to measure the program’s success and says there’s no clear sign the four-year experiment is working.
The MTA says it disagrees. It says the trash can removal produced less trash, thus leading to a reduction in the rat population at those stations.
It says it will continue the program but has no plans to expand it.
DiNapoli says the best that can be said about the experiment is that’s it’s inconclusive except for the fact it’s harder for riders to find a trash can.
