The New York City Department of Sanitation is recruiting Emergency Snow Shovelers to work the 2024-2025 winter season. Emergency Snow Shovelers are per-diem workers who remove snow and ice from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and step streets after heavy snowfalls. Snow Shovelers earn $18.54 per hour to start, and $27.81 per hour after 40 hours are worked in a week. Those interested in becoming an Emergency Snow Shoveler should register here for an application appointment. Registration appointments take place at the Department’s garages. Snow Shovelers must be at least 18 years of age, eligible to work in the United States, and capable of performing heavy physical labor. All applicants must bring the following items at the time of registration: two small photos (1 ½ square); original and copy of two forms of identification; and a Social Security card.
While Emergency Snow Shovelers remove snow and ice from public, pedestrian areas, the Department reminds all residents, businesses, and property owners that they are responsible for keeping their sidewalks clear and accessible.
