To help provide city residents with Sanitation-related service reminders, updates, and special event schedules, the New York City Department of Sanitation has launched DSNY Info, its smartphone and tablet app. The app also includes tips to reduce, reuse and recycle, making it easier for New Yorkers send zero waste to landfills by 2030. The free app is available for both iOS and Android operating systems and can be found by searching DSNY Info in the Apple App and Google Play  stores.
