, hundreds of New York City Department of Sanitation workers were on hand to start clearing Times Square of confetti, novelty glasses, and other New Year's Eve debris. And, in spite of a "smaller" crowd of 15,000, sanitation crews still planned to pick up a massive amount of garbage.
As part of their strategy, workers with backpack blowers move the confetti from the sidewalks and into the streets, where a fleet of mechanical broom trucks are waiting. The mechanical broom has side brooms that sweep confetti and other trash towards a "pick-up" broom, which then collects it into a hopper. When it's full, the mechanical broom driver pulls up to a collection truck and dumps everything in there.
