If you need permission that means the photos are either "private" or viewable by certain people only. Wish I could help, but this group is not directly associated with DSNY.

Does anyone know how to gain access to view the pictures of the January 2013 ceremony pics?
We were given a link for it but it states I need permission to view them.

I was told that the two-letter codes are the batch numbers from the purchase contracts. I don't know if the individual letters actually mean something (like if 'c' and 'd' actually mean something) or are just randomly assigned, but I'll try to find out.

I wish I had an answer for you. I think someone told me the 2 letter code has something to do with the configuration of the truck and how it was ordered. Hopefully someone will come by and enlighten us.

I 've always been curious about the fleet numbers of DSNY Garbage trucks. I know that the number 25 refers to "refuse collection vehicle" and that the three digit number is the unit number and that M4 or Bx12 etc, etc, is the district to which the vehicle is assigned. My question refers to the two letter code i.e CN, CW, CU, DF, between the 25 and the three digit unit number. What do those letters mean?

I saw French Connection the other day and I could have sworn there was a split-second frame of a NYC sanitation truck. But I'd have to get the DVD and pause it to be sure.

I think I've seen a few but I haven't purposely gone looking for them. There are probably a lot! Do you have a link to yours you'd like to share? Maybe we could start a list...
