Sanitation Workers Prepare For Massive NYC New Year’s Cleanup


nye

New York City sanitation officials say they’re ready for their first big task of 2015: Cleaning up a Times Square that will be littered with noisemakers, confetti and paper streamers from New Year’s Eve revelry.

Officials say they’ll have 178 workers, 26 mechanical sweepers, 38 leaf blowers and scores of other equipment on hand Thursday following the annual celebration.

Last year, workers removed 52.3 tons of debris.

They get to work as soon as the crowd starts to leave after watching the 11,875-pound ball drop atop 1 Times Square to ring in 2015.

Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia says it won’t take long to erase all evidence of the massive block party.
