Despite the promise of the Department of Sanitation that “limited” garbage collection would resume today after a week’s suspension, (trucks are reportedly still out plowing snow) a walk around Brooklyn Heights this evening suggests that nobody’s trash has been picked up since this morning. No Sanitation trucks were seen driving around BH streets, and garbage bags are piled everywhere, along with bags of recycling items which are not being collected yet, as well as the odd Christmas tree, which won’t be picked up for another week or two. The Brooklyn Heights Association has been helpful in providing its members with updates on the trash collection situation, but so far, the Sanitation Department doesn’t seem to have rediscovered Brooklyn.
