If you live or own a business in Prospect Heights, you are eligible for a free rat-proof trash can, as long as you are willing to pick it up from the office of Council Member Letitia James, 67 Hanson Place (9:30 am – 5:30 pm – call first at 718-260-9191 to make sure they still have one for you).
These Department of Health approved cans are brought to you by James and Forest City Ratner. The first time they were offered was back in June, in response to complaints of a “rat tsunami” around Atlantic Yards construction zone, and one resident contending that they could look out their window and see trash cans overflowing with rats (a la that Indiana Jones flick).
