The bins made their way to Saratoga Park in Bed-Stuy after a pilot program in Central Park, As News 12 previously reported , Central Park Conservancy said it was removing 100 pizza boxes a day from these bins. News 12 spoke with residents who had mixed feelings on whether the bins will keep the rats at bay - or invite them to play. Saratoa Park is the only Brooklyn location that has the bin. "
