MTA Removes Trash Cans from Subway Stations “to Make Them Cleaner”

New York City is considering a plan to remove all trash cans from some subway platforms.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been testing the plan at two stations for the last two weeks: The Main Street station on the No. 7 line in Flushing, Queens, and the Eighth Street N and R station in Manhattan.
The MTA says itโs an experiment to see how much it can reduce the amount of refuse it picks up in the stations in a given month. If it is successful, it may expand the program to some other stations.
The MTA says the two-month no-bin experiment is being tried because the agency has more trash than it can handle at its 468 subway stations.
