Maybe the Bartender can leave DC and come back to NY and do some work with this recycling so we capture more of it, instead of wasting taxpayers money in Congress

It should be at least 10 cent per can and bottle

Using less stuff is really not going to happen You'd be going up against a trillion dollar industry designed to get people to use more stuff, not less Making the 'more stuff' out of more easily recyclable materials might be the best, cheapest plan

How much does NYC recycle exactly now that we can't export our shit to China to deal with? Which country or countries do we export our shit to now outside our capacity to recycle?

Recyling can't lead to zero waste You can only recycle plastic a few times before it becomes too weak
Comment from : Nationwide Shipping Unbox

Such a scam, most of our “recycling” gets shipped to 3rd world countries
Comment from : kevin Jhonson

Fun fact Recycling is a huge myth and a complete waste of time …something like 90 of all trash in the recycling piles is tossed into landfillsbrbrbrDon’t waste your time recycling people…what you do as an individual literally means nothing for the planetbrbrThey did a study and they said if you stopped polluting today by yourself and ate green and drove electric etc until the end of your life …IT AMOUNTS TO ONE SECOND of industrial scale pollution that it would take to reverse all you do brbrbrThere’s literally no saving the planet brbrSpecies are going extinct everywhere The air is polluted The water has PFAS The ocean is dying…we are so fucked

3 R is just useless and meaningless to ordinary consumers, it is just a scheme, blaming the consumers for wasting too much All these reductions and reuses must in the planning and production phases, and consumers in general truly only care at the most probably just 10 of reductions and reuse, 90 just recycle, or straight to landfill bins I will argue, it’s very irresponsible to assume consumers to reduce and reuse while all they can buy are one time use stuffs or specialized things for special purposes The 3 R are for the producers, not consumers This is just upside down like the whole system

Someone should monitor the sanitation routes in Brooklyn The MAGA san workers from Staten Island hate our neighborhoods and they always leave trash strewn all-over the streets here (out of spite!?) - - DSNY should not allow lazy SI san workers to come to Brooklyn and leave a big mess everywhere they go *shameful
Comment from : Flush75

Recycling is a circle jerk, feel good, do nothing program If there was value to be captured by repurposing our recyclables, there would be a private organization willing to pay for your recycling The truth is that the resources necessary to make use of our recycling is greater than the value of repurposing them
Comment from : Michael Blasius

Recycling may be good and all for the environment but it doesn't go solve the root cause of this excess plastic waste Recycling was created and promoted by big corporations like chevron, so they can produce more plastic to sell By doing this, they shifted the problem to the consumer Its a systemic issue Our Changing Climate has a good video on this youtube/-xjZ54TFT2o
Comment from : WrkngClss

I don't understand any of these "recycling" videos, as you never have a solution to all the plastic garbage It's like sorting buttons for the emperor's new clothes The background noise was irritating, too, and our environment is becoming more toxic every day 👎 Fixing our environment is more complicated than "sorting"
Comment from : DianaS

Does "informal worker" mean homeless or illegal immigrants that you don't want to use the correct term for?
Comment from : Voltaic Fire

They transport a lot of air when recycling plastic bottles and aluminium cans, very uneffictive and time consuming way to recycle and laborous as well There is already a much improved and better ways to do it like this video points -> youtube/dnrxNN0k-Hs

If you want ppl to get onboard with recycling and sustainable practices Do not tell ppl to consume less, they will unfollow real quick If you tell them material recover makes our consumerist lifestyles more sustainable and economical They may play along
Comment from : StarBucksjunkie

I sure wish NYC had a separate collection stream for plastic bags and plastic films (you can bring it to some stores, but the city only collects rigid plastic) So much plastic waste is from plastic bags/films from things like packaging, shipping, and freshness seals I’m sure a lot of New Yorkers would separate out the non rigid plastic if there was a separate stream for it brbrPlastic bags that make it into the stream actually hurt the MRFs and gum up the sorting of rigid plastic recovery
Comment from : Rob Cerrato

Sadly many NYC restaurants do not offer recycling bins for customers who bus their own trash It kills me to toss a soda can from lunch; I'll take it home to recycle there! (I carry a big shlep bag)

The federal government needs to subsidize recycling operations It would create many jobs while improving the environment
Comment from : Uhohhotdog Gaming

There was an Australian report a few years ago saying out of all material that is thrown away as recyclable only 30 of that is actually recycled, the rest is just added to the normal garbage or incinerated It went on to say that was probably an overestimation, and could be as low as 5 brbrI think this is probably the same all over the world
Comment from : AL

It’s so sad such a good recycling system is wasted by so many New Yorkers for the sake of convenience
Comment from : Stefano

i heard that NYC doesn't even recycle anymore because of "covid"
Comment from : daniel yeroshalmi

Wait, it just occurred to me, often when I see video of New York, the trash pickup is in the street I’m from Chicago, we have alleys for basically every street, and that’s where the trash cans stay, every day, and where the trash pickup is I figured that was the basic layout in all the major cities Does New York not have alleys?

Good
Comment from : prabhu shankar

Comment from : Locutus von Borg

Michigan has a 10 cent bottle bill and soooo many people redeem them
Comment from : Jacob B Walters

This video gives a great overview of NYC's gigantic sorting facilities, but what happens to the materials after they're sorted? How much of each material is actually recycled, vs shipped abroad, downcycled, or simply dumped in the landfill? Is that part handled by public or private services, and who pays for it?
Comment from : Richard Samuels

Not me trying to spot my garbage!
Comment from : MeirChaimo

They need to raise the bottle/can deposit a lot higher than 5 cents to incentivize more people to recycle A nickel is basically the new penny almost worthless, so most people say why bother
