The Yonkers Downtown Business Improvement Office (Yonkers/Downtown, Waterfront Improvement District Business YDWBID) unveiled a new high-tech machine that has been assigned to 24/7 street cleaning anytime. season of the year
“Together with the City of Yonkers, we are pleased to introduce our new and improved trash vac to help make Yonkers cleaner. The new piece of machinery not only replaces, but exponentially improves a 2018 garbage vacuum that was no longer working,” YDWBID President Sara Brody said during the vacuum machine unveiling.
As a supplement to the nightly cleanup by the City of Yonkers, YDWBID Rangers team workers will be using this new trash vac nearly every day of the week and several times a day. The diesel vehicle has a cabin for shelter from cold weather and windy conditions, allowing for more consistent and frequent use throughout the city center.
Purchased from ExproLink, the garbage vac’s mechanical suction arm not only provides great leverage for cleaning between parked cars, but also provides the ability to train all rangers rather than the only ones strong enough to move manually the suction arm. Three YDWBID Rangers team workers are currently using this machinery, with additional rangers undergoing training.
Keeping downtown Yonkers clean is a never-ending task that the BID Rangers tackle on a daily basis. Trash vacs allow BID Rangers to work faster and more efficiently due to the vac’s ability to quickly process and compact debris.
“This vacuum is just one of the many machines YDWBID has on hand to help keep the district beautiful and clean,” said President Brody.
