Community Board #13 Newsletter

DSNY has announced additional service and a change in guidance for collection on Monday, October 10th - Columbus Day


· Residents who normally receive Monday trash collection should place their material at the curb SUNDAY EVENING, between 4 p.m. and midnight, for collection beginning Monday, October 10. This is a continuation of our pilot “on-holiday pick-up” program representing an additional service as collection normally does not take place on the holiday.


· Residents who normally receive Monday recycling collection should place their material out at curbside between 4 p.m. and midnight on Sunday, October 16, for pickup on Monday, October 17.


· Residents who normally receive Monday curbside composting collection should place their material at the curb between 4 p.m. and midnight Sunday evening, for collection beginning Monday, October 10. This is a continuation of our pilot “on-holiday pick-up” program representing an additional service as collection normally does not take place on the holiday.

The next round of Participatory Budgeting (for the 2023-24 budget year!) begins this fall, allowing residents to decide how $1 million is spent in your council districts.
