Piles of snow are still covering New York City, but garbage and recycling collection is back in effect.

The city Department of Sanitation said limited collection will restart on Monday.

Commissioner John Doherty asked New Yorkers to make sure sanitation crews had a clear path to pick up whatever needs collecting.

He also said residents should dig out any bags and pails that have been buried under the snow.
