DSNY Shifts To Summer Hours

The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) announced that starting Monday, April 2, and continuing through early November 2007, the primary hours for the Department's day force will be 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The change in collection hours allows DSNY personnel to do their work in cooler morning temperatures during the warmer spring and summer seasons. Homeowners must still place their refuse and recyclables by the curbside after dusk on the day prior to their scheduled collection day.

Any questions regarding the Department should call 311, or go to www.nyc.gov/sanitation.
