Question About Non-Official Trash Bins and Pickup Trucks

Video in 8x - https://imgur.com/vpYsAgq

It looks like the DSNY truck collected the contents of my trash bin, but shortly after, a pickup truck that was tailing the DSNY truck stopped, checked out the bin, and then took it.

I wanted to ask if there’s any connection between DSNY and these pickup trucks, or if they’re independent of the collection process. Any idea what happened? I know I have until the end of the year before I start getting fines. (I'm waiting on the bin to arrive)

SANITATION ENFORCEMENT AGENT

How long is the training? What does it consist of? Also what's the hourly rate you are paid? I'd maybe do a few years till I maybe join another agency. Thanks.

Does DSNY even want curbside composting to work?

As composting is now mandatory in nyc, I’m surprised to see zero educational outreach on DSNY’s part.

So it begs the question. Does DSNY actually care about the success of this program? Do they believe the effort is worth it?

Found a unique ring in an M8 truck!

It’s very, very unique so, if you lost a ring and you know for sure it’s most likely one of a kind…. Describe it and we can meet up . I’ll know immediately if it’s yours!

Getting CDL prior to hiring

Is this a good idea?

If so…how was the permit test? How was the driving test?

Thanks everyone! Stay safe Happy holidays

Rain gear or get wet?

Nothing but pots. Driver gets out though. Fan on or off? Heat to the feet or both? Everything is on the right.

New Bin Policy Question

Say I manage one of those buildings with 8 units. What happens when I have twenty bins but someone moves out leaving behind 40 bins worth of garbage. Or we have four extra bins worth of cans.

I am very perplexed by this because more often than not people exit and leave a lot of extra crap.

School bus driver

Does anyone know if time as a school bus driver counts towards retirement time when you transfer to DSNY? If so, does it happen automatically or what steps do you need to take?

Please ban bottle/can deposit

Can we ban 5 cent bottle/can deposit so people stop rummaging through the garbage pails. There is absolutely no need for it. The 5 cent deposit was put in prior to recycling laws. Now that we have recycling laws there is no need to collect the deposit for that person to return for his deposit. Garbage hunters cause a bigger litter problem.

Anyone switch from T/O (MTA) to Sanman?

Got a 100 on the T/O exam and not as well on the Sanman exam (list 37xx).

Trying to figure out which direction to go in.

Starting pay for T/O is much better than starting pay Sanman and job is less physically demanding (I'm a black belt in BJJ. I'm not a sissy but I know Sanitation is one of the most dangerous jobs in the city)

Everyone here says it's an excellent job though. I'm willing to make the 5 year sacrifice if it means I'll be happier in the future.

Anyone here make that switch and can lend any insight either first hand or second hand?
