Key Points:
- The New York City Department of Sanitation is giving away five brand new, orange and blue 30-pound litter baskets modeled after the bins that became a symbol of the Knicks' recent championship win.
- Winners will be selected through an online drawing open to residents aged 18 and older, with entries accepted until July 3 at 5 p.m., and only one entry allowed per person.
- The giveaway follows an incident where a Knicks fan attempted to steal a commemorative trash can during the championship parade, resulting in fines and job loss for the individual involved.
- Sanitation officials emphasized that stealing public property is unacceptable, but the giveaway offers fans a legal way to own the iconic bins.
- Additional Knicks-themed trash-related merchandise, such as wastebasket replicas and pen holders, are available for purchase through the local brand Only NY.
