Working with the Department of Sanitation in our District

HELP US KEEP FLATBUSH AVENUE CLEAN!

The North Flatbush Avenue Avenue Business Improvement District is working hard throughout our district to keep our street clean at all times. The BID maintains a contract with Atlantic Maintenance which provides  a supplemental sanitation worker  7 days a week from 7AM to 2PM.  Andres Flores is seen throughout our district picking up refuse and emptying our  mesh garbage containers for Sanitation pick up.  Andres also removes all flyer’s  from our lamp posts and street furniture.  In the winter, he is shoveling the snow from the corners for easy corner street crossing.

 The Department of Sanitation provides regularly scheduled curbside refuse and recycling collection services for every residential household, public building public school and many large institutions in New York City.

Please take a look at the DSNY Collection Schedule and Regulations for disposing of your refuse.  The BID is working actively with the DSNY to make sure that everyone follows this collection schedule.  Don’t wait for a summons, please follow the schedule and make sure all refuse is put at curbside after 5:00PM on the before pick up.  Not sure when your due for pick up, you can easily find out by entering your address on the site.

Dont throw it Away! Before you through anything away, the Department of Sanitation urges you to explore ways to help reduce the amount of waste in New York City and make it an even better place to live.
