Trash & laundry
Last edited 2 hours ago by Keerthik O.
NYC recently mandated composting! We have a tiny compost bin on the counter under the knives. Use a compostable trash bag from below (or compostable produce bags from TJ’s!) to collect your organic (non-meat) waste. Toss it out just across the hallway right outside the maintenance shaft door (push hard!)
Our garbage bin is in the last cabinet against the slanted wall in the kitchen (”the trash cabinet”). Most cleaning supplies are here too — trash/compost bags, sponges, dishwasher pods (green box), stain-remover, pest spray.
Our recycling is split in two
Paper towels can be found on the kitchen counter, bathroom shelf, or inside the gray ottoman.
If you happen to use any rags, you can drop them in the box by the apartment front door with the black bag (used rags).
Medium-term trash management (> 5-6 days)
Like most NYC apartments, we have trash/recycling out front.
The first 3 hatches open into trash bins, the 4th to glass/plastic/carton recycling, 5th to paper.
The oblong hatch on the very right edge is where you would tuck in flattened cardboard boxes.
You can empty our recycling cardboard boxes and bring them back to reuse, or you can use any paper bags you find in the kitchen for your recycling.
Laundry
There is no washer/dryer in unit or in building. Thankfully, there’s a very reasonably priced laundromat around the corner beside the deli, open till 11pm most days.
There should be a green laundry card placed on the shoerack that you can load up and use at the laundromat. You can use the mesh hamper in the closet to take laundry there and back.
