Trash, recycling and compost collection are delayed across New York City as sanitation crews work through a backlog following the Veterans Day holiday, according to the city’s official service update.
The delays affect collections on Thursday, November 12. Residents should check their collection schedules for information relevant to their addresses. The city’s notice did not specify when service would return to its normal timetable.
Public schools are open Thursday following the holiday. Alternate-side parking rules are also in effect, meaning motorists must observe posted street-cleaning restrictions. Parking meters remain in operation, with regular payment requirements applying.
Residents should account for the collection delays while following the usual school and parking schedules listed in the city’s daily service update.
