I am glad sanitation trucks are taking large objects, without appointment, on pick up day. I just wish the sanitation workers had a means to pick up trash that falls into the street while doing their pick ups. A broom and shovel perhaps?

I’ve just been notified that I have to compost my garbage. As of this time, I have 3 pails in my kitchen. 1 is for paper, 2 is for glass, tin and aluminum, 3 is for regular trash. #2 has to be rinsed . Fine. But I have to pay for the water to rinse my garbage. Now I need a 4th pail. I have nowhere to keep another pail. I’ve been very vigilant about recycling, but it’s getting to be too much. Is there going to be a penalty for not composting? I’m 82 years old and have to drag out all these pails to the curb. When is it going to be enough?

Lazy sanitation workers. Came today to pick up the garbage across my street 84-18 102 Road. Dump and leave garbage on the middle of the road and kept going. Supervisor passed by and doesn't reported. Now I have garbage all over the middle of my street. The good sanitation workers are NOT there any more. They used to have a shovel and a broom to pick up any garbage on the street.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

NY Sanitation has a distinct procedure that must be followed for pick up. You can call to schedule one or go online and request the service. They will give a day to put it out curbside. The door MUST be removed first or you will receive a summons because of the potential danger. Out it outside on the day you're given and someone will come by and remove all the gas from the tank. He will place a sticker on it signalling the regular pick up guys that it's safe to sislise of it. Keep the appointment date and number they give you, so you're not ticketed if they fail to come by.

How do you dispose of a gas canister?

Sheila Humes | Apr 18, 2022
Johnny Riquero | Apr 18, 2022

It depends on what type of "gas" you're referring to. Helium canisters can be put in with your recycling as long as it's empty. Propane canisters cannot be thrown out. You can use the buy-back program where they sell propane and get yourself a new one, or bring it to a DSNY drop off location. Oxygen tanks also cannot be thrown out. If it's medical oxygen bring it to ER/Hospital or to a DSNY drop off site. Gasoline canisters cannot be thrown out if it has gas in it. Bring it to a DSNY drop off site.

Contact 311 to have sanitation first remove the Freon from the unit. They will give you a date range as to when to place the A/C out on the sidewalk. A special van will be dispatched to have the Freon removed. They'll place an orange sticker on the outside of the A/C once this is done. After, you'll just leave it outside and the recycling crew will pick it up on your recycling collection day, once they see the orange sticker on the side of it.

Sanitation can't collect firewood and wood from trees growing on residential properties in Brooklyn and Queens due to Asian Longhorned Beetle infestation. Schedule an appointment with Parks & Recreation for free on-site chipping and disposal in designated areas. Branches and tree limbs generated by homeowners can be set out for curbside collection if your home is in a neighborhood that receives DSNY organics collection. All other areas can discard this material as bulk garbage on regular collection days (it can be collected separately in organics collection pilot areas). Branches must be bundled 2 feet by 4 feet or smaller.
