Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso hosted a productive pre-Pesach meeting with Department of Sanitation Commissioner Javier Lojan, senior DSNY leadership, and community leaders to coordinate sanitation services ahead of the holiday.

The meeting brought together representatives from Borough Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, and Crown Heights, along with the heads of Shomrim and Chaverim organizations across Brooklyn. Discussions focused on enhanced services for the Yom Tov season, including extra garbage collections, bulk trash removal, container site availability, and the cleanup of bread-burning locations, as well as broader sanitation concerns within the community.

“We’re grateful to the Department of Sanitation for their additional services during the holiday season. We are thankful to Borough President Reynoso for bringing us together with the Commissioner and top leadership to discuss these important matters,” said Samuel Stern, Chair of the UJO Community Advisory Committee.

The meeting was organized by Jacob Eisdorfer, Senior Advisor to the Borough President.

Among those in attendance from DSNY were Commissioner Javier Lojan, Chief of Staff Rebecca Kriegman, Chief of Department Anthony Pennolino, Chief of Cleaning and Collection Daniel Lindley, Chief of Cleaning Operations Jeffrey Pitts, Chief of Collection Operations Daniel Stine, Chief of Operations James Miglino, Chief of the Commissioner’s Office Frank Lettera, Brooklyn North Borough Chief Joseph Rainone, Brooklyn South Borough Chief Joseph O’Keefe, and Deputy Commissioner for Public Affairs Joshua Goodman.

Representing the Borough President’s office were Deputy Borough President Rev. Kimberly Council, Chief of Staff Laura Imperiale, and Senior Advisor Jacob Eisdorfer.
