There will be no trash, recycling collection or street cleaning Monday, May 31, in observance of Memorial Day, as announced by New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) on Wednesday, May 19. 

 

• Residents who normally receive Monday trash collection may place their material at the curb between 4 p.m. and midnight Monday evening. However, there will be collection delays, as is common after holidays. DSNY officials say they appreciate residents’ patience as they work to collect the backlog of material.

 

• Residents who normally receive Monday recycling collection should place their material curbside between 4 p.m. and midnight on Sunday, June 6, for pick-up on Monday, June 7.

 

Additionally, all Sanitation Department administrative offices will be closed on Monday, May 31, in observance of the holiday.

DSNY officials added that as the City is still dealing with the consequences of COVID-19, this may affect post-holiday collection. They encourage residents to refer to the agency’s website or social media accounts for specific direction.
