The deal with the city's sanitation department comes amid efforts by NYCHA, NYU, and neighborhood groups to get garbage off the sidewalk and into rat-proof containers.
For 20 weeks, McKinsey will study other cities that use containers — like Paris and Amsterdam — and identify what types of bins would work best for New York City. The contract is a relatively small project for the consulting giant, which last year paid nearly $600 million to settle allegations tied to its role giving sales advice to opioid manufacturers.
I hate this timeline.
