106 Million Slashed from Sanitation – Less Pickups
The good news is there will be no changes to curbside trash or recycling pickups outside people’s homes.
During the pandemic, NYC Dept of Sanitation stopped collecting compostable materials (the brown garbage cans). But 2. 9 Million was set aside for the NYC Compost Project to continue (but all of those sites are closed because of the pandemic)
Due to 106 Million being cut from DSNY’s budge, the DSNY Commissioner, Kathryn Garcia said there will be less pickups on street corners: (which is not good because bins are often full)
– No pickups on Sundays
– Fewer trucks will make trips on weekdays and holidays
There will also be reduced street cleaning because they saw during the pandemic is wasn’t needed.
Hugs,
