While many people might think Santa's sleigh is the traditional end to the annual Thanksgiving Day parade, there is actually one more important group waiting to take to the parade route - the Sanitation Workers responsible for cleaning and collecting the tons of debris left behind by the millions of spectators lining the street.
The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) begins its annual Night Plow operations November 21, 2016, Commissioner Kathryn Garcia announced.

The seasonal schedule assures that DSNY will have a sufficient number of employees assigned to work the night and early morning shifts and to operate essential snow fighting equipment in each of the city's 59 Sanitation Districts.

To celebrate the work of New York's Strongest and bring attention to the work done every day to keep the city healthy, safe and clean, the New York City Department of Sanitation has released its 2017 calendar featuring the men and women of the department. This year, the calendar was sponsored by the Municipal Credit Union, who is generously providing a calendar for every Sanitation employee. The calendar will also be available for purchase at the New York CityStore at 1 Centre Street. We're pleased to be able to showcase some of New York's Strongest on these beautifully designed calendars. All too often, these essential workers are invisible to the public, even as they work to collect tons of trash and recycling, sweep city streets, keep our fleet of vehicles moving and enforce our laws. This calendar puts a face on these vital workers, said Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia.
To celebrate the release of its 2017 calendar, the New York City Department of Sanitation will host a meet-and-greet and signing event in Foley Square. The models, members of New York's Strongest, will be on hand. Free calendars will be given to the first 50 attendees to photograph and post on social media a photo of themselves behind our calendar cutouts!
