The MTA is expanding its seemingly counterintuitive experiment of attempting to reduce the amount of trash in subway stations by not having trash cans. Apparently, the strategy was succesful at the initial ten stations and will now be expanded to 29 stations on the J and M lines. "We've seen a change in customer behavior. Riders knew that there weren't trash cans at those stations, so they took their trash somewhere else," said an official. [NYDN; photo by noodahvai]
