Four-fold Increase in Participation 2004 to 2008

Electronics make up only 0.9% of NYC’s waste stream

…that’s 33,939.8 tons or 67,899,600 pounds a year

Slide33

Want to Really Make a Difference?

Recycle More Paper

Slide34

Paper: the most under-recycled material

Slide35

Organic Wastes: Rotting, Gaseous and Unwanted

Slide36

Compostable Under Industrial Conditions (not in backyard)

Slide37

We cannot underestimate the barriers

Lack of technological alternativesDensity (compliance)Service provision (public workforce; free-market private sector)Facility Siting

Slide38

Organic = Carbon

Other options only involve siting because they process organics as a mass, without separate sorting
