This burned-out car was making us steaming mad. 🔥 Trashed vehicles have no place on our streets. We worked with the @nypd110pct in Queens to remove 18 derelict vehicles & issue summonses to another 17. See a derelict, abandoned vehicle? Report it here:

How do you get NYers to compost? Start them young! ALL @NYCSchools are now composting, fulfilling a promise from @NYCMayor Adams. The next generation is thinking clean & green; more pizza crusts in the compost bin and less rat food in the trash. More:

April 2024 is in the books, and new data shows the forward-march of the Trash Revolution continues. Rat sightings are down: - 55% in the Hamilton Heights pilot area since the pilot began; - 14% in Rat Mitigation Zones; - across the City for 12 of the last 13 months. BINS WORK.

Enough is *enough*! We’ve had it with these #$%^& snakes, err, litter, on the #$%^& highway! The #NewYorksStrongest Highway Unit are not easily rattled and cleaned up the mess along the Long Island Expressway – no snakes to be seen. As always, don't litter!

Cameras are great for catching illegal dumpers, but sometimes they're clueless enough to get caught IN THE ACT, like this bozo who emptied a truck of household waste in Eastchester in the Bronx. Just like the others: summons issued & truck impounded. Don't dump on our City.💥

It's warm out! If today's weather made you realize it's time for a new air conditioner, make sure you get rid of the old one the right way. Make a free appointment online () or via 311. We'll remove the harmful CFC gases & pick up the AC for recycling.

Say cheese(CAKE!)...because New Yorkers are snapping pics and reporting businesses that don't follow the rules! Do it here, and we'll summons every day until we see compliance, just like we did for Junior's: ALL trash in a bin, with a lid that closes.

"I'll just abandon this old van in Gravesend. I'm sure DSNY and NYPD won't do anything about it." BZZZT, WRONG, THINK AGAIN. We worked with the @nypd61pct to remove 34 derelict vehicles and issue summonses to another 60. Report trashed vehicles here:

Dumping trash bags from your van and moving them down the block STILL COUNTS AS ILLEGAL DUMPING. Our camera caught this dumper leaving a mess along the street in @CMFarahLouis ' East Flatbush district. We issued a $4000 summons & impounded the van. Don't dump on our City. 💥

How can we celebrate #EarthDay every day? Compost! Residents in BK & QN already have access to the largest & easiest curbside program; SI, BX & MN residents join soon. Together with Smart Bins & schools, we all kept 211M pounds of material out of landfill in FY23 alone! 🍎🍂♻️

The less time the trash sits out, the better, and starting tomorrow, ALL trash collection Citywide will begin no later than 5am. New Yorkers are putting it out later, and we're getting it earlier - so make sure to set material out by midnight before your collection day.

Think our cleaning work is something new? To be blunt, weed like to tell you a thing or two... Back in the mid-1950s, we were in the weeds cleaning up these, uh, plants from lots around the City. Perhaps it was a joint effort with another agency? They look like bud-dies to us.

The Nassau Expressway is right near JFK airport, one of the first areas that visitors see when they get to NYC. Earlier today, @NYPDnews made us aware of a condition that needed some quick attention. We jetted right over and got the job done.
