Garbage, Recycling and Organic Collection WILL Occur on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday, January 15
Due to the need for ongoing collection services following the snowstorm, the New York City Department of Sanitation announced that there would be garbage, recycling and organics collection on Monday, January 15, 2018.
· Residents who normally receive Monday collection should place their material out at according to their normal schedule.
Preparing for the storm, such as putting plows on trucks, storm response, and post-storm snow clearing operations keep Sanitation Workers from collecting material on schedule. Nearly 10,000 tons of trash and 2,000 tons of recyclables are “missed” when storm operations are underway. Once snow operations start to subside, the Department can return to collection work.
