MANHATTAN — Garbage pickup and street sweeping is scheduled to resume in a limited capacity Monday, one week after sanitation trucks were reassigned to clean up the 20 inches of snow dumped on the city, according to a city official.
"It's the first Monday of the year and we have to get back to a normal routine," Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty said while speaking during Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s weekly radio program on WOR Newstalk Radio.
Although alternate side parking rules remain suspended, cars parked in metered spots will need to move to allow for street sweeping.
The Department of Sanitation had asked city residents to keep their trash indoors while the city continues to dig out of the snow.
Garbage has not been picked up in the five boroughs since Christmas Eve, two days before the blizzard hit.
