Department of Sanitation Launches 2016 Strategic Plan to Make New York’s Strongest Even Stronger
DSNY - About - Press Releases


2016 Strategic Plan initiatives include:

• Expand curbside organics collection;
• Support partnerships that increase recycling participation from all New Yorkers;
• Increase the number of Adopt-a-Basket Program participants and community cleanups;
• Use technology to more efficiently keep the city clean;
• Pilot turn-by-turn routing technology;
• Limit the impact of waste management infrastructure on historically overburdened neighborhoods;
• Expand opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses in our construction contracts;
• Strengthen the culture of safety;
• Offer training and professional development opportunities to all employees – civilian and uniformed;
• Increase the diversity of our workforce by recruiting underrepresented groups to apply for civilian and uniformed positions of all ranks;
• Better integrate outreach and enforcement to improve compliance; and
• Create new forums to share our story with the public.

DSNY’s snow-fighting fleet has robust automatic vehicle locator technology,
allowing the City to map plows’ progress and giving New Yorkers easy access to
this information on the PlowNYC website. While this system has proven useful
to the public, it has not been leveraged as a tool for Sanitation Workers driving
the plows.
DSNY will begin piloting turn-by-turn navigation technology in snow equipment
for the 2016-2017 winter season, providing an unprecedented level of assistance
to teams in the field. As we see the results and learn from the pilot, we will
increase the use of this technology. Giving our front-line workers better tools
will improve our efficiency and the overall safety of the job.

The city relies on DSNY during emergency situations, and we must adapt our fleet
and facilities to avoid operational failures during critical events. We will flood-
proof our vulnerable facilities and secure infrastructure to improve our back-up
fuel availability and increase the use of portable hydraulic generators, which allow
our vehicles to become portable power stations during emergencies.

If it's filled with buzzwords, then odds are that it's not gonna happen.

Day 2 of CDL class.

Everything went smooth.

Drove all day in queens and Brooklyn. Not to bad. Had to call out nearly every hazard and sign I seen.

No one got sent home

Just got word today I passed my medical (very happy and excited). Only thing left until I get the greatest job in the world (many would say) is to get my license.

I take the road test on Monday.

Do they check for scars on your body when they ask about prior surgeries? During the medical.
thanks

[SanManVan]

No the doctor doesn't check your whole body. They will only know what you tell them and from the drug, blood test and Xray.
