“When Street Team member (weact.org), and Harlem resident, Betty Fincher inquired about the best way to have garbage complaints addressed, Supervisor Milagros Medina of the Department of Sanitation (DOS) informed the team that calling 311 and stating specific problems was the most effective manner of problem resolution. She stated that handling 311 phone calls was of high priority to DOS.
She further explained that each supervisor receives a list of 311 complaints in the morning and the majority must be hand-delivered before the end of the day. Supervisor Duncan also mentioned that residents could help improve garbage maintenance by recycling properly and tying up garbage bags.”

New York residents may have seen the Van Leeuwen artisan ice cream van casually parked in their neighbourhood, teasing them with a range of hand made delights [the strawberry ice cream boasts hand picked strawberries sourced seasonally, while the vanilla is oak barrel aged for three months with ingredients including organic bourbon, and Tahitian beans].

However, this enterprise is not only a NY culinary gem, it is a forward thinking business with eco-friendly packaging solutions.

The spoons are made by World Centric and are biocompostable made from non-GMO corn starch, while the bowls are Bagasse, made from residual sugarcane fiber, leftover after juice extraction and can withstand temperatures of up to 220 degrees F.
