The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is currently engaged in its seasonal “Night Plow” operation to ensure each Sanitation District is properly staffed in case of a winter storm emergency. From now through Mid-April the operation schedule assures that DSNY will have a sufficient number of employees assigned and available around-the-clock to operate essential snow fighting equipment in each of the City’s 59 Sanitation Districts.
During Night Plow, some residents’ normal trash and recycling collection times may change temporarily, as workers in each district are assigned to the 4:00pm to midnight and midnight to 8:00am shifts, in addition to the regular daytime shift. To ensure pickup, put items out for collection between 4:00pm and midnight the evening before your scheduled collection day.
