About DSNY

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) 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. DSNY collects 24 million pounds of trash, recycling, and compostable material every day.

We operate 59 district garages and manage a fleet of more than 2,000 rear-loading collection trucks, 450 mechanical brooms, 705 salt spreaders, and several dozen specialized machines to clean and plow bike lanes.

Under the Adams Administration, DSNY is aggressively cleaning more parts of the City than ever before, including over 1,000 long-ignored areas spread across every neighborhood. With the highest wintertime uniformed headcount in 20 years, we are more equipped than ever to remove snow and ice from the approximately 19,000 lane-miles of city streets.
