<div><em>FAQ's:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why can’t the Parks Department pay for these bins?</strong>
</div>
<div>Like many city agencies, NYC Parks is operating with limited resources and has faced ongoing budget cuts in recent years. This has meant fewer staff, reduced maintenance capacity, and tighter constraints on new equipment and pilot programs like specialized recycling bins. While Parks works hard to maintain our green spaces, projects like this often rely on community partnerships to move forward.
