NEW YORK (WABC) — Starting Tuesday, New York City will use fines to crack down on smaller residential buildings that aren’t using city-sanctioned trash bins.<\/p>\n

The rodent-resistant bins are on sale at Home Depot.<\/p>\n

Residential buildings with one to nine units must put their trash in the containers, instead of leaving it piled in bags on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Fines range between $50 and $200.<\/p>\n
