Six constituents of Queens New York State Senator Tony Avella have complained in the past few weeks of tickets for placing trash curbside outside of the sanitation department policys hours.
That policy says you cant put the trash out any earlier than 4 p.m. on the day before collection between October 1 and April (5 p.m. other dates).
Avella says he can find no evidence that what he calls sanitation department policy was ever made into a formal regulation. That would require public comment, a hearing, and other measures.
Furthermore, he says the rules or policies werent properly publicized.
