STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Want to help your community? Want to earn some extra cash doing so? The Department of Sanitation might have the job for you.

During a Saturday press conference, Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged able-bodied New Yorkers to sign up for the city’s emergency snow shoveler program.

The city will deploy over 1,000 emergency snow shovelers across the five boroughs starting Sunday night using vans and buses to transport the personnel where they’re most needed.

“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” the mayor said.

The shoveling jobs, which focus on bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and other public areas, pay $19.14 an hour with the possibility for a raise to $28.71 an hour if working more than 40 hours in a week, according to the Department of Sanitation.

Eligible applicants must be at least 18 years old, eligible to work in the United States and able to perform heavy physical labor. Applicants must have two small photos of themselves (1-1/2 inch square), two original forms of ID with copies, and a Social Security card.

Sign-up forms are available online at nyc.gov/assets/dsny/forms/snow-laborer-registration and a Department of Sanitation spokesperson said the agency is hosting open enrollments at its garages around the city Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Staten Island is home to three Sanitation garages at 539 Jersey St., Tompkinsville; 2500 Richmond Ave., New Springville; and 1000 West Service Road, Travis, according to the Department of Sanitation.

Mamdani caught flak following January’s Winter Storm Fern after the New York Post reported that the city didn’t meet the emergency snow shoveler staffing levels seen during past storms.

The Department of Sanitation disputed the Post’s characterization of the hiring effort saying city needs had changed in the near-decade since the five boroughs last saw snow like this year’s.

Mamdani said the city could get hit with over 20 inches of snow from the first blizzard the city has seen in close to a decade, and that his administration is expecting it to be worse than January’s Winter Storm Fern.

On Saturday, the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for the city, its first in close to a decade, from 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday with the worst of the storm expected overnight Sunday into Monday.
