Baffling NYC Bins

Dear Editor:
The only “legal” can is the “Official NYC Bin” available only from OTTO despite the exact NON-OFFICIAL can available from multiple sellers for a lower price. The ten page terms and conditions of the purchase of the can (available on the DSNY website) are from Duramax Holdings LLC, doing business as Otto Environmental Systems and Otto Environmental. Duramax is a North Carolina Corp. Failure to agree to the terms and conditions or buy the can will result in fines and penalties.
Why was the billion-dollar contract not given to a local NYC company? Why NC? Who got the money?
