Sanitation crews clean up in Times Square overnight - Los Angeles Local News, Weather, and Traffic

After Monday night's big New Year's Eve bash, things are getting back to normal at the crossroads of the world. 

Less than 24 hours ago about a million people celebrated the arrival of the New Year. 

As anyone could imagine, it's not easy cleaning up after a party that size. About a million people celebrated the start of the New Year or near Times Square early this morning. 

But there was no time for celebration for a small army of Department of Sanitation workers who had to start picking up debris from the world's biggest party. 

You think it's a chore cleaning up after one of your house parties? 

It's nothing compared to this. 

"Over a 48-hour span we have a total of 151 sanitation workers, 24 supervisors, 2 superintendents and 2 deputy chiefs – including myself from last year," said Jeff Pitts, Deputy Chief of the Dept. of Sanitation.  

Confetti is just the tip of that 50-ton iceberg of garbage.  

"There's a lot of stuff that I can't even mention, but it's a lot. Pizza boxes, bottles, cans you name it. Anything that you could put in your pocket," said Pitts. 

The cleanup effort continues in Times Square. There's still a bit of confetti on the ground.  But from the looks of it, these workers have already done a great job.
