DSNY is Now Hiring Emergency Snow Laborers; Register Now to Help Clear Snow and Ice After Major Winter Storms

The New York City Department of Sanitation has announced that people interested in working as emergency snow laborers should register at their local Sanitation garage. Snow laborers are per-diem workers who shovel snow and

clear ice from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants and step streets in the City after heavy snowfalls.

Individuals interested in registering with the DSNY can do so weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. The list of garage locations can be found at www.nyc.gov/sanitation and in the list below. Snow laborers will be paid $15 per hour, and $22.50 per hour after 40 hours are worked in a week.

“While the uniformed men and women of the Department of Sanitation concentrate their efforts on driving snow plows and salt spreaders to keep city streets accessible, Emergency Snow Laborers work in areas important to pedestrians to help keep the city moving,” said Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia. “Snow laborers work to clear the city’s crosswalks, fire hydrants, step streets and bus stops, and allow for the quicker removal of snow and ice in these areas.”

Snow laborers must be at least 18 years of age, be eligible to work in the United States, and capable of performing heavy physical labor.

All applicants must bring the following items at the time of registration:

· Two small photos (1 ½ square)

· Original and copy of two forms of identification

· Social Security card
