New Yorkers interested in becoming city sanitation workers will be able to sign up for the exam this month. 

The registration period for the city’s sanitation worker exam will open on Wednesday, June 8 and run through Tuesday, June 28, Mayor Eric Adams, the city’s Department of Sanitation and the city’s Department of Citywide Administrative Services said in a joint press release Tuesday. 

Prospective applicants can register online or at a DCAS Computer-based Testing and Application Center, the release said. 

The city is expected to offer the exam “on a rolling basis” starting in September, according to the release. The exam was last offered in 2015, the release said.

The starting salary for the job is $40,622 per year, the release noted. A full list of candidate requirements is available on DSNY’s website. 

“Becoming a sanitation worker for the city offers a rare and unmatched opportunity,” Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement. “We want the Sanitation Department to be as diverse as the city it serves, and urge all New Yorkers to register, for your community, for your families, and for yourselves.” 

“The lifetime of service to our city that has taken me to where I am today began when I took a civil service exam,” Adams said in his own statement.

“It was one of the best decisions I ever made — it changed my life forever, and in these difficult times, it can do the same for so many of the women and men of our neighborhoods," he added.
