STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that garbage collection will resume in New York City Wednesday after an historic blizzard swept through the area Sunday into Monday.
Residents will see garbage trucks trundling down their street beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday after collection was suspended Sunday. Plastics, however, will need to sit tight for a few more days.
“We will be prioritizing trash and compost collection this week. I ask New Yorkers to be patient throughout this process. Collection trucks are the same size that they’ve always been — but in many areas, twice the amount of material will be out, so delays are possible,” Mamdani said Tuesday. “We expect collection will return to normal by Monday. We expect recycling collection to resume next Monday.”…
