Sanitation Increase Ahead of Pesach – A Message from the CHJCC

As the community prepares for Pesach and the expected increase in household waste, sanitation services will be stepping up operations across Crown Heights. This annual pre-Pesach surge, as families clean and prepare their homes for Yom Tov, brings a significant rise in volume across the neighborhood.

Scheduled pickups throughout the week will be more robust, with sanitation crews increasing service to meet demand. In addition, an extra pickup will take place Wednesday morning (Erev Pesach) from 12:00 a.m. through 12:00 p.m., focusing on the most heavily Jewish blocks.

In addition, a bulk-item dumpster has been placed at the corner of Kingston and Union, providing residents with a convenient option for disposing of larger items.

“This is a critical time for our community, and having the right support in place makes a real difference,” said Shmuly Rosenstein, acting chairman of the CHJCC. “As we go through the annual Pesach preparations, we encourage everyone to take advantage of these additional services and do their part to keep Crown Heights clean and ready for Yom Tov.”

Residents are urged to place items out responsibly and make use of the designated disposal options to ensure smooth and efficient sanitation operations throughout the neighborhood.
