The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is the world’s largest sanitation department. DSNY collects more than 10,500 tons of residential and institutional garbage and 1,760 tons of the recyclables – each day.

DSNY’s Monthly Tonnage dataset on NYC OpenData provides monthly tonnage data by community district of the following materials: refuse, paper recyclables, metal/glass/plastic recyclables, residential organics, school organics, leaves, and Christmas trees.

ABOUT OPEN DATA WEEK
Open Data Week is an annual festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the NYC Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics and BetaNYC. Every year, New Yorkers come together all across the five boroughs to celebrate New York City’s Open Data Law, which was signed into law on March 7, 2012. Coincidentally, the first weekend of March is also International Open Data Day.  With these dates anchoring Open Data Week, we rally NYC’s civic tech and open data communities and offer opportunities for more people to learn about and engage with municipal open data. https://www.open-data.nyc/
