IDSA Partners with BetterBin Design Competition for a More Sustainable NYC

 

For almost 90 years, the design of New York City's recognizably green, wire-meshed litter baskets has barely changed. But soon, they'll get a major upgrade. In July 2019, the BetterBin Design Competition is set to reveal the winning design of a more functional, clean, ergonomic and sustainable wastebasket that will improve the quality of life for NYC residents and the sanitation workers who service them. In mid-June, the finalists' prototypes will be unveiled and deployed to the streets.
