A woman branded “incredibly stupid” was filmed swiping an orange-and-blue New York Knicks trash can in New York City, in a bizarre clip that quickly spread across social media.
In the video, the woman — wearing an orange hat, a blue New York Knicks shirt and jean shorts — empties a large pile of garbage from the bin onto the sidewalk before walking off with the receptacle as stunned bystanders watch.
Before the clip cuts off, she appears to meet up with another person also dressed in Knicks gear, though it was not immediately clear whether the two were together.
“They’ll be listed on Facebook Marketplace as ‘Rare Vintage Knicks Memorabilia’ for $450 by tonight. Honestly, trying to lug a giant public sanitation bin onto the MTA during rush hour is peak New York dedication,” one X user joked in response to the video.
“Girl this is Theft lol,” another X user posted.
It was not immediately known when the incident occurred. The New York City Department of Sanitation and clothing brand Only NY had partnered to roll out the hand-painted mesh wire trash cans in celebration of the Knicks NBA championship ahead of Thursday’s ticker-tape parade.
“Dumping trash onto the street and stealing public property for your own personal use are both illegal, antisocial behaviors, and not what New Yorkers do. On top of all that, doing both on camera is incredibly stupid,” the New York City Department of Sanitation told The Post in a statement about the footage.

“Streets are about to be filled with garbage because all of these are 100% getting stolen,” on X user wrote Thursday in a now-prophetic post.
