UJO Arranges Special Garbage Pickup Service With Sanitation Department Before Holiday



Excerpt from Yiddish article in Der Yid’s Friday, April 12, 2019 edition

Starting from Sunday evening until Erev Pesach, regular garbage can be put out every evening. Bulk containers can be put out starting Motzei Shabbos until bedikus chometz night and then again on Monday after Yom Tov. Recycling is on the regular schedule with an additional pick-up Thursday morning so recycling can be put out Wednesday evening. Garbage should be put out as early as possible on  Passover eve so that it will be removed before the chometz burning zman

Brooklyn, NY –As it has done for many years on behalf of the Williamsburg community, the UJO met with the Department of Sanitation to arrange for additional service to assist in cleaning the neighborhood before Yom Tov through the removal of the huge amount of garbage amassed before the holiday.
It is requested that the community follow the schedule and rules. The department provides many special services and works with devotion to assure a clean and pleasant holiday. In turn, the community needs to do whatever possible to help public workers in going about their work so that their job can get done expediently.
