Recycling Notes
Two things i've recently learned:
----
one thing: apparently they ship the cardboard box recycling to china for processing. if, once it arrives, it has any food on it, the company actually ships it back to nyc b/c it's actually cheaper than having them dispose of it!
----
One of the really interesting things that we’ve discovered in our research is that the trash collection companies guard their routes as trade secrets, so no ridealongs for us. The mayor’s office is currently trying to help us to get a ridealong for just a few blocks, so that we can see how the carters operate. Will keep you posted.
