The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has announced its trash, compost and recycling collection schedule for Juneteenth, June 19, 2023, advising that there will be trash collection on the holiday in line with the Department’s mission to get New York City cleaner, faster.

 

DSNY officials said that residents who normally receive Monday trash and composting collection should put their material at the curb on Sunday evening, June 18, for collection starting Monday, and residents who normally receive Monday recycling collection should put their material at the curb Monday evening, June 19, for collection starting Tuesday.

 

They said residents could experience some collection delays, as is common after holidays. “We appreciate patience as we work to collect the backlog of material,” they wrote. For questions about Sanitation services and holiday schedules, they encourage residents to call 311 or visit nyc.gov/sanitation.

 

DSNY officials say the department keeps New York City clean, safe, and healthy by collecting, recycling, and disposing of waste, cleaning streets, attacking the scourge of illegal dumping, and clearing snow and ice. They said the department operates 59 district garages and manages a fleet of more than 2,000 rear-loading collection trucks, 450 mechanical brooms, 705 salt spreaders, and several dozen bike lane operations machines.

 

Under the Adams administration, officials say the department is aggressively cleaning more parts of the City than ever before, including over 1,000 long-ignored areas spread across every neighborhood, and the City’s highways.
