Sanitation Zones

The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) manages its work within seven sanitation zones, commonly also referred to as "DSNY zones" and pronounced "Dee-Ess-En-Why Zones."

Sanitation Zones are composed of several Sanitation-Districts, which in turn are built from Sanitation-Sections which are based on Community-Districts. Sanitation Zones have descriptive names like "Brooklyn South" with that zone represented as zone "BKS."

Sanitation Zones should not be confused with the proposed Commercial-Waste-Zones.

These boundaries occasionally change, often in the fall in preparation for high-profile snow removal season. Good luck determining which download link is correct. As of fall 2018 you will get different shapes depending on which download option you choose. Some of the downloads appear to be not just old, but straight up incorrect with missing chunks of the city. The safest option may be to select the "original" download which produces a .geojson file with a decent-looking date in the file name.

As of the fall 2018 update to Sanitation datasets on Open Data the links to the arcgis REST services no longer appear to work.
