Rat Resistant Trash Cans On Tap For Some Area Residents
In retort to an outpouring of complaints that rats fleeing the construction at Atlantic Yards been swarming nearby residential streets and even homes , the developer of the locality has promised to give out free rodent-resistant garbage cans.
Each nearby home would be given one can, though vouchers redeemable at parade stores. A spokeswoman for Forest City Ratner, however, said the developer wouldn’t be providing malevolent “bait stations,” for nearby homeowners, nor would they be offering the cans to area businesses, said MaryAnne Gilmartin FCR’s chairman of the board vice president in charge of the 22-acre mega project.
Details, such as what streets the giveaway would employ to and how many cans multi-unit buildings would receive have not yet been determined.
But, she added, “We’re not buying trash cans for the undiminished borough.”
Gilmartin made the announcement at yesterday’s bi-monthly meeting of the Atlantic Yards Project between FCR, submit and local officials.
