This storm is expected to be serious and challenging.   Our Department is already “full-force” in staffing – with 2,600 Sanitation Workers on each 12-hour shift. Remember, treated and plowed streets will still have snow on them, especially in blizzard conditions. This is to be expected. Property owners must clear a path on your sidewalks at last 4-feet wide. This includes unsheltered bus stops and curb ramps. Collection will be delayed during snow operations. If you have Monday recycling, please HOLD your material if you can. We will prioritize trash and compost once collection resumes. Stay tuned for further updates. (If you receive alleyway collection: alley service is suspended this week; your material should be placed curbside.) Emergency Snow Shovelers will be working, starting tonight. Please stay off the roads tonight to allow New York's Strongest to work safer and faster in these extremely challenging conditions.
