What happens to trash pick-up if the alley is been gated?
Residents have a number of options to ensure the trash collection is not interrupted: – Residents can leave the trash outside the gate at the end of the alley on trash day. – Residents can place their trash in the front of their house for collection. – If the alley is beautified in a way that does not restrict vehicular traffic, the block can elect to leave the gates open on trash collection day. Residents should be cautious when selecting this option, however, as the city may not be held liable for any damage caused by sanitation vehicles to the alley gate or other improvements. You must get approval from the Department of Sanitation regarding where your block will relocate trash pick up.
