@workersclubnyc @nycsanitation has exciting hiring opportunities both currently and next year including the exam for Sanitation Worker!
In May 2027, you can apply to take the civil service exam for Sanitation Worker. The currently starting salary is around $65,000 per year, increasing to almost $100,000 after 5 years. There are also opportunities for overtime as well as bonuses, longevity, and other extra pay that could increase that salary. Sanitation can also retire with their pension after 20 years of service. You can qualify with just a high school diploma or GED as long as the age requirements are met.
Currently, you can also apply to become an Emergency Snow Shoveler, paying $30 per hour and $45 per hour during overtime! If you sign up before November 30th, you’ll be able to participate in a four-hour paid orientation. That’s $120 before it even snows.
You can find all opportunities to sign up for the Snow Shoveler Program at nyc.gov/snowemploy or comment “Snow” and we’ll send you a link straight to your DMs.
And for all New Yorkers who call this city home, DSNY has begun to roll out the first residential Empire Bins, starting in Brooklyn Community District 2. We’re getting close to trash-free sidewalks and a cleaner city for everyone who calls New York home. The new bins will continue to be expanded in 2027 in all boroughs.
