We Are Fighting For NYC Building Supers, Porters, and Building Owners!

We are a grassroots movement of non-union Building Superintendents and Porters, and building owners, formed in response to this outrageous and unfair rat regulation in NYC which forces Building Superintendents and Porters to work past 8 PM to throw our building's trash to the curb.  We now work 12 to 14-hour days, with no overtime pay, because of this Mayor and City Council.   


This regulation has uprooted our lives and has caused riffs within our family and our close friend's.  We are no longer able to eat dinners with them 156 nights each year because of this absentminded approach to rid the city of rats by city officials.  


We are committed to getting this regulation completely overturned. 


But we need your help. 


SEND THIS WEBSITE TO OTHER BUILDING SUPERINTENDENTS, PORTER'S, AND BUILDING OWNERS TODAY! 


We need them, and we need you, to join our growing movement.

OUR LIST OF DEMANDS

  • We want a non-zoom, in person meeting with Jessica Tisch, the Sanitation Commissioner.  We have been asking for a meeting with her for almost two years now, and we have been ignored.
     
  • We demand that City Council move the trash take-out time back to 4 PM or 6 PM, without containers, because our buildings do not have room to store 50 to 100 to 150 containers in our basements.


  • Supers should not be responsible for fines rendered to our buildings, for composting or recycling or anything that a resident themselves is responsible for. 


  • No fines should be taken out of the salaries of any Building Superintendent or Porters working in a building - as is the case with many of our members.


  • City of New York must create legislation preventing Building Superintendents and Porters for getting their wages garnished after their building receives a fine from The Department of Sanitation [DSNY]. 


  • The City of New York must have 7 - day a week trash pickups for regular tarsh, and 3 day a week pickups for recycling and composting - like they do in Paris, France!  


NOT 3-day a week pickup days for regular trash, and only 1- day a week for recycling and rotting compost.


  • These bags of compost are rotting in the backs of our building for a week straight, sometimes for two weeks, when a garbage day is missed do to a holiday, or because DSNY forgot to pick up our building's trash, or completely skipped our block but picked up other blocks instead. 


  • Members agree that a trash program, like the one they have in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) where there are no garbage day pickups, for buildings and for residents, because their citizens walk to the nearest trash center to dispose of their trash there, in the appropriate container, and that trash gets buried underground -  should be considered as the best solution for New York City’s future. 


  • Amsterdam uses underground bins which are sprinkled throughout each neighborhood for their recycling and regular trash programs. These bins get picked up a couple of times each week. They use a garbage truck with a small crane on top of it, to pull these bins out of the ground and into their trucks.

HOW AMSTERDAM DISPOSES OF ITS TRASH

WE NEED TO ADOPT HOW ITS DONE IN AMSTERDAM


Amsterdam uses underground bins which are sprinkled throughout each neighborhood for their recycling and regular trash programs. These bins get picked up a couple of times each week. They use a garbage truck with a small crane on top of it, to pull these bins out from the ground and into their trucks.  


Each person would walk to the nearest locations, dump their regular trash into one container and their recycling and compost into the others, then walk away.  

It's simple as that!


This would also cut back on traffic jams caused by Sanitation trucks when clearing an entire block of garbage bags and trashcans.  



For larger items, like bed frames, mattresses, or armoires, Amsterdam has a separate truck with a crane attached, that picks up these items in one lift.
