**DSNY Employees Only**
The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) keeps New York City healthy, safe, and clean by collecting, recycling, and disposing of waste, cleaning City streets and vacant lots, and clearing snow and ice. DSNY is the nation's largest municipal sanitation agency, with nearly 10,000 employees, 59 district garages, and a fleet of more than 5,000 trucks, cars, and other types of equipment. The Department clears litter, snow, and ice from approximately 6,500 miles of City streets and removes debris from vacant lots as well as abandoned vehicles from City streets.
The Bureau of Solid Waste Management utilizes a wide range of contracts and agreements to execute the complex and legally mandated work it performs as part of DSNY’s service to New Yorkers. Responsible for the construction and maintenance of city-owned solid waste management infrastructure (e.g. Marine Transfer Stations, compost facilities, closed landfills), as well as the disposal, recycling, or marketing of all DSNY-managed solid wastes, the Bureau oversees a high volume and high dollar value of contracts.

- Collaborate with supervisory staff in the development and maintenance of audit mechanisms to evaluate and monitor the contractor's performance.
- Act as primary point of communication with outside vendors and DSNY staff to provide technical expertise by explaining procedures, requirements and resolving issues.
