NYC to pilot holiday trash collection program for Labor Day 2022

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Just in time for Labor Day, the city Sanitation Department will pilot its “on-holiday pick-up” program, in which trash collection will take place on Monday, despite the holiday.

Residents who normally receive Monday trash collection should place their material at the curb Sunday, Sept. 4, between 4 p.m. and midnight, for collection beginning Monday, Sept. 5. Trash collection normally does not take place on a holiday.

Residents who normally receive Monday curbside composting collection should place their material at the curb between 4 p.m. and midnight Monday evening, for collection beginning the next day, Tuesday, Sept. 6.

And those who normally receive Monday recycling collection should place their material out at curbside between 4 p.m. and midnight on the following Sunday, Sept. 11, for pickup on Monday, Sept. 12.

The Sanitation Department is also reminding customers that collection delays are common after holidays.
