Uncollected trash has piled up in parts of New York City as the Department of Sanitation has dealt with a delay in service and staffing issues, officials said Monday.
"Yes, we did experience a delay in a service, a gap, we were making up for throughout [last] week," said department Commissioner Edward Grayson.
"Ours is a very visible service to all New Yorkers as we all know -- so, with 12,000 tons coming out every single day in the residential areas, once you get a little behind, it's going to take a little while to right the ship. We had full staffing in place throughout the weekend; we did work the extra service day on Sunday to do the best we can to catch up."
