I did 30 years in that Dept. The snow melters don’t get much use unless there is substantial snow. The funniest unseen thing in this operation is ,it breaks down so often because of multiple street signs and fire hydrants the pay-loader scoops up. When the snow is melted the bottom of the melter looks like a Dept of transportation storage area . Unavoidable when the snow is so deep . Btw. Private contractors are paid in excess of $250 to $400 an hour. They work 24/7. Do the math. God bless America

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

OH WOW! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT ADDITIONAL INFOMATION.....

Great video man! Cool stuff.

THANKS SO MUCH MY FRIEND! ;o)

[@mariotorres6287]

Once again, Sanitation comes through battling the storm to keep the city moving. Considering the vast mileage of streets that make up the five boroughs, Sanitation does its best it can to clear the snow. Yes, there has been hiccups, here and there, but overall they do a fine job, in addition to their regular tasks of garbage collection. There is a fine book that is in my New York City library at home, entitled "Picking Up" by Robin Nagle, which does a fine job of telling the history of the Sanitation Department and the tasks that workers do day to day, that make up DSNY. Thanks to the workers of DSNY!!

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

YES AND THANKS SO MUCH MY FRIEND! ;o)

[@johnhohfeldt7566]

another great video bud...always enjoy seeing whats going on in the big city coming from a small city in Michigan of less than 1500 people

[@jacksonkay2558]

great compilation! during the winter time, i. very familiar with snow plows and snow here in Utah! very cool!

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

+BrickDale Fire Dept. COOL AND THANK YOU! ;o)

[@syberwolf3947]

+THEMAJESTIRIUM1 why do fire departments use unmarked Vehicles sometimes what exactly is the purpose so the fire can't see them coming?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

+syber wolf WHAT?

[@jacksonkay2558]

+syber wolf well if you are thinking that the snow plows and what not are fire related, they are not. they are city vehicles. and John, i think that the so they cant see them part was a joke.

[@jacksonkay2558]

+syber wolf also, sometimes if they do t have enough rigs, they use civilian vehicles to get from place to place

Nice of that guy to wave at you and it was good to see that older loader at work

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

IT IS NICE TO SEE AND NICE OF HIM TO WAVE JACOB! THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@ml9867]

This was really cool to watch. As a non NYC resident I'm always fascinated by the fact that the garbage trucks have plows. Do they ever plow & collect trash at the same time?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

NO, THE PLOW SEPERATELY......GLAD YOU ENJOY IT AND THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@LICHBKLYN1]

Here's to unsung heroes.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

I AGREE! THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@sagebrush243]

Do they use the skid steers on that truck for snow removal as well? I can see those being more handy in NYC in those hard to reach places over the loader

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

YES, I BELIEVE THEY DO AROUND TOWN JACOB! THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@ledebuhr1]

Who picks up the garbage when the garbage trucks are out plowing?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

THEY PICK IT UP AFTER! THANKS SO MUCH......

[@spukduk5632]

Even the garbage trucks have plows mounted? All hands on deck for a couple inches of snow it seems

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

IT WAS 27 INCHES!

[@spukduk5632]

That's what i said, a couple inches

[@simonrichard9873]

In NYC they do this since the 60s. It's not an exceptional thing. That's just how they plow their streets.

[@kp99631860]

Those guys do a great job

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

[@Brian-StarGazer-77]

Great seeing something other than fires. How much does it cost to live in NY?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

THANKS AND A LOT OF MONEY.......

[@jamescaliendo1030]

Too much

[@martystevensen241]

Why don't they have a snow machine that melts the snow at curbs with flames? The water then goes into the sewer.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

IDK.

[@Commissar0617]

cost. that's alot of heat.

[@billy3596]

Because for it to snow it would have to be below freezing which would make water on the street ice, making complete chaos.

[@leolldankology]

They're developing lasers so they don't have to use flames.

[@brianexleben9169]

Thats funny as hell, i work for the private contractor

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

COOL AND THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)

[@okaymister8139]

Does america use salt or gravel on the roads?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

MOSTLY SALT.....

[@peacekeepercris]

It depends on were in the country, temperature. In Iowa the DOT puts down a brine solution before the storms to help prevent ice buildup then if it gets too cold they sand the roads and attempt the mechanically remove snow and ice from the road.

[@RailRide]

@@peacekeepercris In recent years NYC also began spreading salt on the streets in advance of a snowstorm fpr pretty much the same reason.

[@grassmanBoca]

So if trash trucks are plowing snow who picks up trash and spreads salt I saw one truck with salt don’t seem like a lot for big city.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

WELL, THE SALT SPREADERS HAVE THEIR OWN UNITS SO THEY TREAT THE ROADS. AS FOR THE GARBAGE TRUCK THEY COME BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND COLLECT THE TRASH.....

[@ZlPO]

is this upper manhattan?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

ALL AROUND TOWN.....

[@Leonard4fishing]

Why not dump all the snow in the east river?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

THEY DO THAT TOO! THANKS SO MUCH.....

why do they use garbage trucks for snow plows?

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

BECAUSE IT WORKS WELL

[@BoostedDeere]

NYC has used trash trucks for plows for at least 50 years

[@5iFTYHFaviation_addict]

why not? the garbage trucks are already there, why buy more equipment when the lot can do the same job.

[@johnnewman732]

Two in one. Snow plow and trash truck.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

[@milton7131]

Why not just spray the hot water right on the snow or take some of that hot ass steam they got and spray that on the snow.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

WELL, THAT IS A GOOD IDEA BUT WHERE CAN THEY GET THE HOT WATER. HAHA! THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@milton7131]

@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 they can get it from the same source that they are using for the machine, HAHA!

Garbage trucks as snowplows?? 😕

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

YUP!

[@ethanslife4206]

That's kinda wierd

[@BoostedDeere]

@@ethanslife4206 -they been doing it for at least 50 years. Only way I could see nyc not doing it is if they couldn’t get parts. And as big as New York sanitation dept/ trash truck contract is I bet before they look for new trucks they make sure they can get a plow for it

[@RailRide]

@@ethanslife4206 The plows are detachable. Once the majority of snow clearing ops is finished, the plows are taken off and those trucks go back to trash collection duty. Salt spreader trucks also have the same arrangement.
