Adopt-a-Basket Program - Volunteer to help keep NYC clean!
The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is seeking participants for a program that will keep our streets clean. By volunteering for the Adopt-a-Basket program, you will be ensuring that a trash receptacle near you is properly maintained and will not overflow.Here’s how it works: DSNY provides a supply of plastic liners, a collection schedule, and a direct DSNY contact at its local office. To help, monitor your litter baskets; when they are three-quarters full, remove the used plastic liners, tie them, leave them next to the basket and insert a new liner.
It’s easy to register - just visit nyc.gov/adoptabasket and sign up to help us keep New York City healthy, safe and clean.

Blog: A Brief Guide to Building Research in NYC
By Philip Sutton, Milstein Division of U.S. History, Local History & Genealogy, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, October 14, 2011.
The New York Public Library's Milstein Division is home to one of the largest free United States history, local history, and genealogy collections in the country, and many of the library's patrons are writing their family histories. Many reference questions pertain to building histories, especially in the light of genealogy. Afterall, those ancesters lived somewhere, and it's natural to wonder what it was like where they lived.
Sometimes patrons are curious about the buildings they live in, when the buildings were built, and by whom. They might wonder, "Who lived in my apartment building?," "What were they like?," and "What were their lives like?" The library gets these type of questions so often, they put together a brief guide to the kinds of materials that you might use to research a New York City building's history.
