The Department of Sanitation's test project to containerize trash pickup on one residential block won't work on a citywide level, the agency's chief said on Wednesday, so New York's Strongest will need a better strategy to clear Big Apple sidewalks of their notorious rubbish mountains.

The nation's largest housing authority will lead the city's effort on waste containerization, according to documents.

Brooklyn's Pitkin Avenue BID also gets a trash corral as the containerization effort moves into more locations.

The Sanitation Department's "Clean Curbs" pilot — trash enclosures in Times Square that were installed a mere three months ago — is a bit of a mess.

A quiet block of W. 45th St. becomes a laboratory for shaving New York's '5 o'clock shadow.'

The limited scale of Clean Curbs — basically, the piloting of off-the-shelf storage sheds for bags — hampers the city's goals because it does not require the total rethinking of garbage-collection methods, which is what the city ultimately needs.

A pilot program to get trash bags off sidewalks will move beyond Manhattan — first, to Brooklyn. But can it do enough fast enough to curtail 'NY's 5 o'clock shadow'?

The city would install and maintain the bins — for a yearly fee.

One local advocate said the whole point of the pilot was to test the idea of charging for valuable curb space on a large scale. So what happened?

New York's Strongest are gearing up to clear bike lanes of snow this winter — but they must still wait for car lanes first.
