Forest City Ratner Offers Free Garbage Cans Due To Atlantic Yards Rat Problem

NY1

Ratner to slovenly Prospect Heights residents: it's not us, it's you!

After months of complaints from neighbors about an increased rat population around the Atlantic Yards construction site, the developer is now working to fix the problem.

Forest City Ratner is handing out free garbage cans that are harder for rodents to get into.

The developer claims the rat increase is not because of construction garbage but because people are not disposing of their own garbage properly.
