A school janitor who commutes to work from Pennsylvania is using his Washington Heights public school as his personal trash can — all to save a few bucks, a whistleblower told The Post.
Juan Acosta — who lives 75 miles away in Stroudsburg — routinely arrives early at PS 48 Monday morning with huge bags of trash, which he dumps in front of his workplace, stunning videos shot over the past four years by the whistleblower show.
In footage shot by the source with his smart phone and reviewed by The Post, Acosta, 54, is seen pulling up to the elementary school on West 186th Street and Broadway on 11 separate occasions since February 2019 – including three times in the past two months – and then opening the trunk and back seat of a black Hyundai Elantra to haul out white plastic bags of trash.
The custodian, who begins his shifts around 6 am, typically looks around to see if anyone is watching, and then cavalierly drops the bags and loose debris at the curb, where the school’s trash is already piled up.
To add insult to injury, Acosta illegally parks next to a fire hydrant or along a crosswalk to make the unsanctioned drop-offs. He then struts back to his vehicle and pulls an illegal U-turn to head toward a parking lot, the videos show.
The whistleblower also provided The Post photos of debris pulled from Acosta’s trash bags — which included private mail from the custodian’s home address.
