Geospatial boundaries define DSNY collection frequencies for refuse, recycling, organics, and bulk items across city sections. The dataset includes columns for SCHEDULECODE, FREQUENCY, and specific FREQ_* fields for each waste type. It is provided by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated in April 2024.
Use Cases
- Map collection service areas by DISTRICT and SECTION using the multipolygon geometry.
- Analyze the distribution of FREQ_REFUSE and FREQ_RECYCLING schedules across the city.
- Identify areas with weekly organics collection by querying the FREQ_ORGANICS column.
- Calculate the total area of collection zones using the SHAPE_Area attribute for resource planning.
Strengths
- Contains 13 distinct columns detailing collection schedules and geometry.
- Includes specific frequency codes for multiple waste streams (refuse, recycling, organics, bulk, e-waste).
- Data is recent, with a last update timestamp of April 2024.
Limitations
- Sample data and total row count are unavailable for assessing size and completeness.
- The absence of a documented license may restrict certain uses.
- Geographic coverage is limited to New York City, limiting broader applicability.
