Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner announce the 2011 Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspension Calendar. The City suspends alternate side parking regulations, for both street cleaning purposes and traffic flow, on the legal and religious holidays listed above. This includes suspension of street cleaning regulations at metered spaces. The City policy was developed jointly by the Department of Transportation, the Police Department and the Department of Sanitation.


Alternate Side Parking Regulations may be changed from time to time because of snow emergencies, inclement weather conditions or other emergencies. In these circumstances, the information is provided to the news media. Call the New York City Call Center, 311, to obtain information on emergency suspensions of the regulations.

Disposal of Appliances

If you dispose of any appliance containing CFCs (refrigerators, air conditioners, water coolers, dehumidifiers, etc.) the CFC gas must be removed before the Department of Sanitation will pick it up. This is a federal mandate. Call the Sanitation Action Center for an appointment. The telephone number is 212-219-8090. They will give you a date to place the appliance curbside for the removal of gas. After it is removed, the appliance will be tagged CFC FREE. Only tagged items will be collected from your curb.

THE TELEPHONE NUMBER TO REMEMBER IS 212-219-8090.


IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT BEFORE DISPOSING, REMOVE ALL DOORS FROM REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS.


We do not want our children to climb into a refrigerator, accidentally close the door, and smother because he or she is unable to get out.
