Summary
- Woman filmed dumping trash to steal custom Knicks garbage bin.
- Limited-edition bins were made by NYC Sanitation for the parade.
- Viral video of the incident sparked widespread outrage online.
A viral video shows a woman emptying a custom New York Knicks-themed garbage bin onto the street before taking it. The incident occurred as the city celebrated the Knicks' NBA championship, their first in 53 years. The limited-edition bins, painted in team colors, were a collaboration between the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and apparel brand Only NY.
Onlookers were dismayed as the woman, wearing Knicks apparel, committed the act. The DSNY condemned the behavior, stating that dumping trash and stealing public property are illegal and antisocial. The department emphasized that such actions are not representative of New Yorkers and that being filmed doing so was particularly foolish. The NYPD confirmed no complaints had been filed regarding the incident.
