Sunset Park’s Eighth Avenue is getting some cleanup cash
The streets will stink no more — at least that’s the hope as extra garbage pickup is set to begin this week for heavily trafficked corridors in Sunset Park.
Following reports that overflowing litter baskets in the heart of Sunset Park’s Eighth Avenue were causing a stink, City Council member Carlos Menchaca, who represents the neighborhood, announced a $50,000 allocation to go toward extra garbage pickups along Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth avenues to start this week.
“My office heard the community loud and clear about the need for extra garbage pickup along Sunset Park’s busiest corridors, so we acted,” Menchaca told the Brooklyn Eagle.
