DSNY Garbage Truck vs. Massive Trash Bag Pile

Massive big pile in some section apparently called Kips Bay. Near midtown.
Haven’t posted regularly in a while, got some pretty cool videos going up twice a week thru New Years. Hopefully you guys enjoy.

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) New York’s Strongest does an unbelievable job. No questions asked. I love it. Nicely Done! Don’t Litter and keep New York City clean. 💯💪👍😊

Meanwhile, I'm not allowed to have a plastic bag at the grocery store.

as a kid i would see garbage men riding around on the back of the truck and think that was the coolest job around

[@freds7002]

As someone from the midwest, if we saw a pile of garbage bags like that it wouldn't take long for them to disappear because someone will get curious and pick up those bags with their F-150 and look thru them at home. It's crazy what people throw away in the trash. I do metal scrapping as a hobby. It's crazy how much aluminum and copper I find in the garbage.

[@EskimoJoe492]

Trash picking is nasty. Why people do that is beyond me.

Bro this ain’t the Midwest that is nasty NYC garbage!!! It appears to be summer, that crap is days old and ripe with maggot juice and a very funky odor. My heart goes out to these two guys busting their humps with this mess!!

[@randylahey3909]

how many bags of diapers and cat litter do you have to go through before you find enough scrap metal to make it worthwhile? asking because i'm a garbage man and thats the bulk of the garbage i see

[@DiscussionsWithEkmel]

@@randylahey3909 you'd be shocked at what people throw out here.

Damn they don`t even take 10 seconds to pick up what was on the footpath.

Believe it or not it’s not their job. The building does it.

I thought they are supposed to sweep up the small stuff too.

[@Napoleon_Blownapart]

They are.

Only in the street. Not the sidewalk. They'd be there all day. Property owner

European underground domes make more sense. Just one large bag to lift and that's it.

[@ct_refuse]

Indeed

[@jobturkey7418]

God damnit when the bag rips

[@cld2930]

I guess I'm with a lot of people on this one. I know building maintenance or landlord will have someone come and sweep up, but picking up the trash is what you do. It would not have killed them to pick up the small bag and the litter next to it and toss it in the truck. As a pedestrian I sometimes pass an amount of trash like that and if I see a trash receptacle nearby I pick it up and toss it in and I'm not getting paid to do it. They really should have picked that up. Maintenance will still have someone come and swept up the sidewalk it's just the point that you are picking up the trash and it's right where the trash bags. were.

[@robertconville6269]

Gonna need a bigger truck!

[@TheJakDanz]

Sounds like they're about to load out. Probably 10-12 tons on that truck

[@davidindradat7327]

Thats mitsubishi made their job a little harder that day!

[@davidhamm5626]

Looking at the way it is parked, it may be DOA....

[@RichardWraith]

Can you imagine parking somewhere one day, in a proper parking spot, only to find that while you were gone, somebody put 100 trash bags right next to your car, then they were taken away, but it was filmed and then people started ripping into you about how you made somebody else’s job harder, that you didn’t even know was going to happen? The parking spot is marked out on the street. I don’t see any spot marked out for the trash? Shows you what a shit-show New York is. The city smells as bad as it looks too.

[@ronkali5365]

Leaving that little small plastic bag on the sidewalk is a failure in my part of the woods.That will earn you a write up

[@ct_refuse]

Building management sweeps the sidewalk before the truck even drives away. It’s really not a problem.

[@sks804]

@@ct_refuse It is a problem. The truck drove away and it was still there. Just do the job correctly. It’s really not that difficult.

How do you know somebody didn’t just dump all those bags right next to where he parked a few hours ago? Don’t always assume the worst in everybody, especially people and situations you know nothing about. Life is far too short for that buddy…

Manhattan has a lot of those massive bag pile's cause of a lot of apartment buildings where I live in Queens NY I would only see bag piles around apartment complexes or schools or programs

@@ct_refuse Eventually, but in the meantime it could sit there for hours. Makes the area look dumpy. It would’ve taken one of those guys about 5 seconds to pick up those little bags. Take pride in your work! By the way, I worked for Waste Management in South Florida for 27 years.

I am a garbage man. This job takes a toll on your back! These guys earn every dime they get. Once they go home first thing they do is shower then they get some icy hot or bengay cream and apply it to their back. People should always remember do not over load bags. My maximum that i am permitted to pick up is 50 pound bags. Anything heavier i am told to leave it.

[@EskimoJoe492]

Sloppy work. They broke bags open and left garbage.

[@dbdmountainlion9459]

[@dammitbobby283]

Those guys don't know it but they could each easily make $300 per hour doing the exact same work for themselves.

[@ct_refuse]

How’s that?

[@dammitbobby283]

@@ct_refuse In Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island, there are more than 1,000 private streets where the city doesn't handle garbage pickup. I earn $3,000 weekly by offering prepaid garbage collection services on 10 residential routes, serving 400 paying customers. It's a unique niche that often goes unnoticed, as many people assume that living in a city guarantees weekly garbage collection by the city, which isn't the case.

[@SallySallySallySally]

OMG! It's a well-paying job and they earn every penny!

You don't separatr your trash, you put all together in one single bag?

[@superhollowfied906]

Absolutely thankless job. If you guys want to support DSNY Sanitation Workers, put a little pressure on the Mayor and City Council to remove the restriction of only being able to live in NYC, Long Island, and the surrounding counties of Westchester/Rockland/Orange/Putnam as a condition of employment. New and somewhat seasoned Sanitation Workers cannot afford housing in the very city they work in, yet as a condition of employment, are required to live there.
