Forest City Ratner and Council Member Letitia James are providing free trash cans to residents to address continued rat problem.
Prospect Heights Patch
by Jamie Schuh
Free rodent-proof garbage cans are now available for all Prospect Heights residents, thanks to Council Member Letitia James and Forest City Ratner. The heavy-duty, plastic cans with lids are approved by the Department of Health.
More like thanks to Council Member Letitia James's persistent prodding of Forest City Ratner.
Forest City Ratner first offered free trash cans to residents back in August, as part of a “rodent control strategy.”
The trash cans are now available to all residents and business owners within Prospect Heights. They can be picked up at the office of Council Member James, 50 Hanson Place, between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Bring an I.D. and proof of address when picking up, and call (718) 260-9191 to confirm availability.
NoLandGrab: Yormarketing genius should be announcing the inking of the "official resident trash can sponsor" any day now.
