Yesterday, just after midnight, the over 160 Department of Sanitation employees headed to Times Square to clean up after the New Year's revelers. According to 1010 WINS, that crew worked until 8 a.m., and then another shift came in at 11 a.m. to further "tidy" up the area. It's believed that over 41 tons of garbage were collected, but since there were 25 mph winds, it's hard to say exactly how much detritus they picked up. Sanitation Commission John Doherty said, "It takes a while. Last night was a windy night. There's probably confetti as far as the East River."

2008 is almost here, the ball drop is turning 100, the 8 is going to make its big debut, the year's bad memories have been shredded...so there's just one thing left to do. This year messages, wishes, resolutions and probably some nonsense will flutter to the ground when the clock strikes midnight. And you can join in the fun.
