STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will conduct normal garbage collection this weekend despite the federal holiday.

With Veterans Day, Nov. 11, falling on a Saturday this year, the holiday will be observed on Friday, Nov. 10.

Typically, sanitation collection is suspended on federal holidays or the day they’re observed.

However, with collection already suspended earlier this week in observance of Election Day, DSNY will be operating on a normal schedule for the rest of the week.

“In an effort to offer efficient service and keep the city clean, safe and healthy, and due to the rare calendar anomaly of two federal holidays falling within the same week, the NYC Department of Sanitation has announced modifications to its collection schedule for the week containing Election Day and Veterans Day,” according to DSNY.

The department announced that there will trash, curbside composting and recycling collection on Friday, Nov. 10, and Saturday, Nov. 11, with residents who typically receive collection on those days advised to place their materials at the curb as they normally would.

However, residents are cautioned that there may be some delays in collection, as is typical on holidays.
