“Regarding the number of summonses, we don’t enforce for enforcement’s sake. We enforce so that people will comply with the new rules, which are making the city noticeably cleaner,” said sanitation department spokesperson Vincent Gragnani. The new policy allows residents who have trash cans with secured lids to put bins at the curb as early as 6 p.m. on collection days. And owners of businesses that close before 8 p.m. can put garbage cans with lids on sidewalks up to an hour before closing time.
