"Trucks of Art invites all artists, no matter their skill level, to submit applications to transform a 46,000-pound DSNY collection vehicle into a work of art. Now in its third year, the program is put on in partnership with DSNY and the Sanitation Foundation. Sanitation trucks have become part of our city's streetscape, and today we announce a third opportunity for local artists to reimagine these trucks as 400 square feet of metal canvas and transform them into roving works of art, said Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan."
"Previous Trucks of Art are still on collection routes in all five boroughs, and we are thrilled to be adding five more to our fleet this spring. The Sanitation Foundation is proud to partner with DSNY on Trucks of Art 2026, a program that brings artists, communities, and Sanitation workers together in a highly visible and meaningful way. These trucks carry more than waste they carry stories of creativity, sustainability and civic pride across all five boroughs."
Trucks of Art invites artists of all skill levels to submit designs to transform 46,000-pound DSNY collection vehicles into mobile works of art. The initiative returns for a third year in partnership with DSNY and the Sanitation Foundation and will add five decorated trucks to collection routes across all five boroughs. Proposals that celebrate sustainability, keeping the city clean, and the DSNY workforce will receive priority. Applicants must submit online applications with design mock-ups. Selected artists receive a $1,500 stipend from the Sanitation Foundation. Residents are asked to donate unwanted paints at Special Waste Drop-off Locations for artists to use, with remaining paint recycled or properly disposed.
