It’s time to take out the trash in New York City!

The Sanitation Department, after struggling last year with devastating cuts to resources and this winter’s harsh storms, will be getting a little help in picking up after it’s city’s residents, said Mayor Bill de Blasio in his morning briefing this Tuesday. 

De Blasio said starting tomorrow, Wednesday, March 31, there would be a significant increase in funding for litter basket collection, along with over 100 additional sanitation trucks for waste management, and the restoration of Sunday pickups.
