It took 35 transit workers and $17,000 to clean out the literal toilet left behind by “Occupy City Hall” protesters, the MTA said Thursday.

Transit workers “successfully completed power washing and restoring the Brooklyn-Bridge City Hall 4-5-6 subway station” Thursday, the day after the NYPD cleared out the weeks-old encampment.

The damage wrought by protesters included ventilation grates above the 6 train that protesters had used for “s–tting and pissing,” one transit supervisor told The Post on Wednesday.

A transit worker approached at the scene Thursday confirmed that workers had found human feces while cleaning the vent.

The crew of 31 cleaners and four supervisors also pressure-washed the station of graffiti, deep-cleaned entrances and turnstiles and repaired “damaged elements” — including what the agency described as “an iconic green subway entrance globe.”

Officials said workers spent a cumulative 452 work-hours on the cleanup.

“Ideally our crews are using their cleaning expertise to disinfect the station and trains for COVID-19 prevention,” Interim Transit President Sarah Feinberg said in a statement.

“This unfortunate situation required a herculean cleaning effort and our team stepped, as they always do.”
