NYC cracks down on businesses leaving out open bags of trash

HELL'S KITCHEN (WABC) -- Navigating New York City sidewalks can be a challenge, and one thing to avoid is messes from trash bags that restaurants have hauled to the curb.

But now there is a proposal to make sure that mess is cleaned up, or else restaurants could pay up.

"Sometimes people put the garbage outside and it's disgusting, you know," said restaurant manager Alan Contreas.

The garbage in Hell's Kitchen can get pretty gross, Contreas admits. So he says he doesn't have a problem with a new proposed ball that would fine businesses for not cleaning up the mess created by their open and oozing bags of garbage.
