The snow’s almost gone, most of the trash has been taken away, but that pesky recycling still remains a reminder of last week’s snow storm. This morning, our street was overtaken with garbage bags full of recyclables. According to this Patch article, the earliest it will be picked up is at the end of the week. The Brooklyn Paper also ran an article today sharing our frustration. Be gone with it!
that’s by bldg!
They picked up recycling on my street today – I kid you not! I went out to doublecheck that they were indeed there for the recycling, and the sanitation guy said there were only a few recycling trucks out, and they might get called back at any time to deal with the snow. He already had a plow attached to this truck.
My garbage was picked up on Tuesday morning, as per what Sanitation said would be the case. They also have said that there will be no collection of recyclables yet at this point, so if they’re piled up on your street it’s because people put them out there without first checking to see whether they would actually be picked up.
Trash was finally picked up Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately the snow is still very much here in the South Slope. Huge ice mounds landscaped with dog crap and uncollected recycling. Can’t wait for the snow tomorrow…
“On the subject of jerks, why, WHY do dog owners think the presence of snow means they don’t have to pick up their animal’s poop???”
YEAH! WTF?!?! not cool at all
DOS finally picked up the garbage today, a day late, on my block in Boerum Hill.
There is some recycling out, because clueless neighbors put it out with their garbage. I’m sure they’ll leave it perched on the filthy snow piles despite the lack of a date set for pickup, because they are jerks like that.

recycling should start next week….boy that will not be soon enough….
My street in Ditmas Park West got the first garbage pickup since Dec 24 very late last nigh. Lots of little debris and things from broken bags left all over on the block. Any word on when recycling is okay to put out?
We still had trash in front of our building this morning, and yesterday I was in the Lower East Side and saw a garbage truck spend about 20 minutes picking up in front of a NYCHA project and then, inexplicably, they drove off leaving over half the pile. I thought maybe the truck was full but I saw them stop and pick some stuff up down the street. I talked about this last night to my students, and one, who is a super at NYU said that he found out years ago who the local DoS foreman was and that he tips them at X-Mas and that he doesn’t have a scrap of garbage in front of his buildings….
