NEW YORK (WABC) — One person’s trash becomes another’s treasure Friday in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The New York City Department of Sanitation will present five lucky people with Knicks-themed litter baskets in Hell’s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

The winners were selected from a lottery announced last month that had more than 125,000 entries.<\/p>\n

The blue and orange waste baskets, like the redesigned subway stations, became symbols of the knicks’ success during their NBA championship run that ended with a victory over the San Antonio spurs.<\/p>\n

Friday afternoon’s giveaway came about when a video after the championship parade showed one fan dumping trash out on the street and walking away with the bin.<\/p>\n

That woman was later fined by the city, forced to return the bin, and was fired from her job at JP Morgan Chase.<\/p>\n
