The physical is a joke . Anybody with a pulse can pretty much pass. As far as the written you really can't study for it. If it's like all the other city test then it's basically 7th grade reading comprehension. You read paragraph and then they give you multiple choice questions on what you just read. Very easy questions.you don't need to know anything about dsny. But what gets most people is they give a lot questions and towards the end of the test you get tired or careless and rush questions and miss key words . My best advice when you take the test is take your time , read everything carefully and if you start getting exhausted , take a few minutes rest and continue . Every question is extremely important . Every question wrong can mean the difference of thousands of people ahead of you. Good luck
I'm wondering if I can do this job.
I'm 5'5" and 130lbs with asthma.
Do you think this is a something I can handle?
I don't think I can handle lifting garbage all day (or night).
There are other aspects of the job. I say apply for the exam. Take it and if you get called decide then.. but like I said there are numerous things you can do. Plus it's only $47 to apply so yea just do it!

Ok thanks, I will give it a try. I just read the part below:
(This is a brief description of what you might do in this position and does not include all the duties of this position).
Take it nothing to lose. I'll never have to work with you so I don't care what kind of shape you are in. Bottom line is this job is not a piece of cake. If you are out of shape/old etc you will hate life on a daily basis. Haha good luck. If you are 50 and looking for some retirement money train you probably will never be able to enjoy it.

Hey SanMan2k5
I'm guessing you are already a sanitation worker. =)
Does everyone who gets this job do the same work? I'm 41 and not really in good shape due to asthma.
I guess everyone takes turn of being drivers?
I'm 26 and a 7+ year NYC Transit worker...I'm still applying for this, gotta be in it to win it!
