Today: Councilman David Greenfield To Present New Cleaning Trucks To Sanitation Garage


by on Jul 26th, 2012

Councilman Greenfield and Sanitation Department's Iggy Terranova

Councilman David Greenfield will join New York City Sanitation Department Commissioner John Doherty today to present two new haulster trucks to the Brooklyn 12 Sanitation Garage at 5602 19th Avenue. The event takes place at 2:30 p.m.

The new equipment, which will be used for cleaning streets year-round and to clear snow in the winter, was funded by Greenfield with $305,708 from last year’s budget.

Greenfield has been crusading for cleaner streets in his district since the blizzard of last winter immobilized many Bensonhurst drivers.

He hopes that by providing trucks for the sanitation department, there won’t be a repeat of last year’s events.

Further, his spokesperson noted that the trucks are great for year-round use as well. They maneuver well through narrow streets and will be used to help clean parts of the neighborhood and the surrounding areas.

Here’s hoping for a sparkling clean neighborhood and safe winter driving.

    the garbage men in bensonhurst suck. i watched them hold a bag, it brokle all the debris fell on the ground, one worker motioned to the other, leave it. I opend the windows and yelled out, dont leave it there, one started to pick some up, the other man that dropped it, didnt.
    so I called 311 and filed a cpmpliant.

      I know there’s garbage all over the street now but isn’t it the responsibility of the homeowner to make sure the bags are tied properly and that they are not filled to the breaking point?

        he dropped it, it broke, completely the garbage mans fault. then the nerve to just want to leave it.

    To Mr. Greenfield…you just keep making the elected officials in my area look like the wastes they are. How about a class “How to be a councilperson and actually do things for your constituents”….OR…..a book…..”What you should expect from an active councilperson”.
