NYC Sanitation Department Trains for Upcoming Snow Season

NYC Sanitation has begun snow training across the five boroughs, the department tweeted. 

The training began on October 4th and will continue for a total of ten consecutive Sundays. Workers will be driving plows or salt spreaders along routes to ensure the needs of “a city with an ever-changing landscape.”

“Through a global pandemic, through the summer – all year round - snow is on our minds,” said Acting Commissioner Edward Grayson. “Hands-on snow training gives our newer Workers a chance to re-familiarize themselves with the vehicles and routes when there’s no snow on the road while giving those with more time on the job a chance to become reacquainted with the snow equipment. And in a city with an ever-changing landscape, it allows us the opportunity to ensure we can meet the needs of all five boroughs.”
