The new cans will be placed at intersections on First, Second, Third and Lexington avenues, from East 70th to East 98th street, where there have been numerous complaints of trash overflow, according to City Councilman Ben Kallos, who funded the cans with $20,710 from his budget.

The cans are wider in circumference than the normal trash receptacles and have a domed top with a smaller hole on the top.  Some of them will replace existing wire bins that are smaller, and the others will be added to intersections that didn't have bins before.
