Times Square New Year's Stats

2009_12_tsc.jpg Last night's New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square was slightly hampered by the damp weather, but the crowds still came out. So far, estimates have the crowds in the "hundreds of thousands". Some of whom needed police escorts to go to portapotties, some of whom were prepared with Depends. The Department of Sanitation estimated to NY1 that "the crowd left more than 40 tons" of party trash and "nearly 150 sanitation workers armed with dozens of mechanical sweepers, trucks and leaf blowers helped clear everything out for New Year's Day."
