🇺🇸🇮🇹 Happy Independence Day from the DSNY Columbia Association!

As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom (1776–2026), we proudly honor the generations of Italian Americans who helped build, serve, and strengthen this great nation.

Our heritage reminds us where we came from, while our service to New York City reflects the values that unite us all—faith, family, hard work, and community.

Today, we celebrate with immense pride in both the Stars and Stripes and the traditions passed down by our ancestors. Together, we remain American by birth or choice, and Italian by heart and heritage.

Proud Past. Strong Future. Strongest Together.

Happy 4th of July to our executive board, board members, families, and all the men and women of the Department of Sanitation.
