Taking out the trash.

[LetsCleanNYC @LetsCleanNYC]

@wildnewyorkshow This sounds like a job for ~20 people and great software. If we can bring more efficiency to our government programs, New Yorkers will save a lot of money and we will lower the cost of living.

Roughly 20% of DSNY’s 10,000+ employees (~2,000 people) work in office and administrative roles.

What are taxpayers getting from those 2,000 desk jobs?

NYC spends more than double per resident on sanitation vs Tokyo.

Tokyo: ~$100/resident
NYC: ~$250/resident

NYC ranks among the dirtiest cities in the world, while Tokyo is among the cleanest.

Now imagine if our streets were free of trash.

NYC Summer ‘26 has got to be a top 5 city season of all time.

NYC is the greatest city in the world.

Our streets and public spaces should be the cleanest in the world. The $2+ billion annual budget for the department of sanitation is not cutting it. Its time we change the culture in NYC.

In NYC we hate people who litter:
1st offense: $500 Fine + 40hrs community service
2nd offense: $5k Fine + 200hrs community service
3rd offense: $25k + 1,000hrs community service
4th offense: Death Penalty

[LetsCleanNYC @LetsCleanNYC]

@ImMeme0 4th offense litterers should face the death penalty.

@NYCMayor NYC tax payers fund a $2 Billion / year budget for the department of sanitation, but our streets and public spaces are still filthy.

[LetsCleanNYC @LetsCleanNYC]

Greatest city on earth.

Clean the river and NYC might become the Yacht capital of the world.

[Dotan @PianoAround]

If you ever find the opportunity you NEED to take a boat ride in the east river at night Preferably a slow moving yacht with luxury seating. It’s the most peaceful vibe you’ll feel in NYC

Last night was special seeing all the building lights blue and orange.

DSNY operates the largest sanitation department in the world, with ~8,000 uniformed workers, a ~$2 billion annual budget, and a fleet of over 2,100 collection trucks.

@NYCMayor NYC has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The department of sanitation has a budget of $2 billion this fiscal year.

[Alexis McAdams @AlexisMcAdamsTV]

The really clean & beautiful streets of midtown NYC!

@nycgov how about some of that tax $$$$ is used to clean up!

[LetsCleanNYC @LetsCleanNYC]
