Changes To NYC Sanitation Collection And Alternate Side Parking

NEW YORK, NY— The New York City Department of Sanitation will suspend trash, curbside composting and recycling collection on Presidents’ Day on Monday. Alternate side parking rules will also be suspended for the holiday.

Residents who normally receive Monday sanitation service may place materials at the curb Monday evening for collection beginning Tuesday.

The department said collection delays may occur following holidays and recent winter storms as crews work through backlogs.

Although Thursday is recognized by the city as Lincoln’s Birthday and is typically a sanitation holiday, officials said regular collection will take place that day because of the recent storm.

Residents with Thursday service should follow their normal set-out schedule.

The Department of Sanitation operates 59 district garages and manages a fleet of more than 2,000 rear-loading collection trucks, 450 mechanical brooms and 705 salt spreaders. The agency is responsible for waste collection, recycling and clearing snow and ice from approximately 19,000 lane-miles of city streets.
