DSNY launches 'No Need to Knick' a trash bin giveaway after JP Morgan theft
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York City Sanitation Department (DSNY) is raffling off five brand-new Knicks-themed trash cans to celebrate the Knicks' NBA Finals win, poking fun at a viral incident involving a fan who stole a similar bin during the parade.
- DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson emphasized that stealing or damaging public property is unacceptable and encouraged fans to enter the contest online rather than taking bins from the streets.
- The contest requires winners to be New York residents aged 18 or older and able to pick up the 30-pound, 28-inch tall bins from the DSNY’s lower Manhattan office, with applications closing July 3.
- The giveaway follows the return of the stolen Knicks-themed trash can by Angie Baez, a former JPMorgan Chase executive, who was fined $175 for the theft and littering incident.
- Smaller Knicks-themed bins are also available for purchase from Only NY for $168 for fans who do not win the DSNY raffle.
