New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) Commissioner Kathryn Garcia announced the promotion of three new three-star chiefs, as well as the new head of its Operations Management Division.
Garcia announced the promotion of Anthony Bianculli, who will now head the department’s Bureau of Information Technology, the bureau that manages the DSNY’s computing and technology functions.
Bianculli began his career with the department in July 2000 as a sanitation worker. He was promoted to supervisor and assigned to the Bureau Operations Office where he was responsible for all daily reporting for the chief of operations.
More recently, Bianculli worked for the department’s Bureau of Information and Technology where he oversaw the growth and enhanced development of the DSNY’s SMART system.
“The SMART system is crucial for our garage operations, and we were able to run more efficient garage operations thanks to Chief Bianculli’s contributions,” Garcia says. “Chief Bianculli’s knowledge and leadership has served the department well over the last 19 years. I am proud to be able to promote Chief Bianculli to this well-deserved position, and I wish him continued success.”
Garcia also announced the promotion of Paul Brown to head the department’s Personnel Management Division, the group that monitors, controls and supports uniform and civilian staffing needs for the Bureau of Cleaning and Collection.
Brown began his career with the department in October 1999. Brown was promoted to supervisor in 2004 and superintendent in 2007. Brown was later promoted to deputy chief and served in the department’s Cleaning, Collection and Field Inspection and Audit Team (FIAT) offices.
Brown was promoted to assistant chief in the FIAT office. Most recently, he worked in the department’s Personnel Management Division office as an assistant chief.
“For nearly 20 years, Chief Brown has shown his dedication and leadership in the department, including helping the city recover after the September 11 attacks,” Garcia says. “He has proven himself again and again and is a dedicated public servant. I wish him well in his new assignment.”
Additionally, Garcia announced the promotion of Garrett O’Reilly to head the department’s Collection Office. The Collection Office is responsible for daily oversight of all collection activities, including trash, recycling, organic material and all other waste.
O’Reilly began his career with the department in 1999 as a sanitation worker. He was promoted to supervisor and also served as the district superintendent. Most recently, O’Reilly was the Manhattan borough chief, overseeing borough operations, including planning, staffing and scheduling of all cleaning, collection, snow removal, special events, and emergency response operations in Manhattan.
“Over the last 20 years, Chief O’Reilly has proven himself to be an effective leader,” Garcia says. “From overseeing special event cleanups, to efficiently managing our cleaning operations after natural disasters, to supervising borough operations from A to Z, Chief O’Reilly has proven experience that will serve him well as the department’s new Collection Office leader.”
Finally, Garcia announced that Chief Javier Lojan will now serve as the head of the department’s Operations Management Division, the bureau responsible for monitoring, analyzing and strategizing ways to improve operations, productivity and performance. Lojan was most recently head of the department’s Personnel Management Division.
Lojan began his career with the department in October 1999 as a sanitation worker. He was next a supervisor and has served as a district superintendent for two Manhattan garages, managing and supervising the garage, including organizing snow removal operations in high traffic areas and coordinating special event cleanups. Lojan has also worked as a member of the department’s Field Investigation and Audit Team, and was promoted to deputy chief, serving in the Cleaning Operations Office and in the Operations Management Division.
“Chief Lojan continues to show that he is an effective leader within the Department of Sanitation,” Garcia says. “His years of experience throughout many department bureaus have made him invaluable to us. I know Chief Lojan will serve us well in the department’s Operations Management Division, and I wish him continued success.”
