The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) announced that there will be no garbage or recycling collection, or street cleaning on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2009, and New Year’s Day, Friday, January 1, 2010.  In addition, all Sanitation Department administrative offices will be closed on Friday, December 25th and Friday, January 1, 2010, in observance of the holiday.

Those residents who normally receive Friday collection will not have their recycling picked up until Saturday, January 2, 2010.    All garbage should be placed curbside for collection each Friday after 4 P.M. for pickup.

UPDATE:

Sanitation Commissioner John J. Doherty announced that the Sanitation Department (DSNY) will resume limited refuse and recycling collections as of Tuesday, December 22, 2009, even as other workers continue to battle the aftermath of Saturday’s foot deep snowfall.  Collections had been suspended when the DSNY began snow fighting on Saturday.

The Commissioner also said that the DSNY will:

Continue enforcing unshoveled snow and ice violations on sidewalks.
