To Recycle, or not to Recycle?

To recycle, or not to recycle?  That is the question facing millions of New Yorkers each and every day as they help the Department of Sanitation make our city a cleaner and greener place in which to live and work. WNBC TV recently sought out answers to these questions and broadcast this very timely tutorial on what to recycle featuring Commissioner John J. Doherty. With WNBC TV’s permission, we’ve posted this exciting, fast-moving video on our web site to encourage everyone to do their part to help our city and our environment.

Sanitation mourns the passing of three star chief

The New York City Department of Sanitation mourned one of its own on June 23rd, as Renzo Ferrari, Chief of Bureau Operations, was laid to rest.  Chief Ferrari recently passed away from complications due to cancer.  He was 54.  Chief Ferrari leaves behind his wife Carmen, and his two children David, 19, and Olivia, 17.

Chief Ferrari began his career with the Department in 1979 as a Sanitation Worker assigned to Manhattan District 8 Garage, and steadily rose through the ranks, including as Supervisor of the Queens West District 5 Garage, General Superintendent Level I at Brooklyn North Boro Office, and his last assignment as the three-star Chief in charge of citywide snow removal operations.
